Event Ezbus $100 Rebate, Only through January 31st! Options

[Levon River]

Event Technology is offering a mail-in $100 rebate on any EZBus purchased prior to December 31st. Since most places sell it for around $599.00, that brings the net price for the little powerhouse down to just under $500.00 if you want one and can act fast--and can find any.

I realize the time is short for this notice, but since, as usual, Event Technology's Marketing Director (if they even have one) appears to be working overtime to keep this machine out of the hands of potential customers, I just found out about this myself and I thought I ought to post it if only on a better-late-than-never basis.

For those who don't know, the machine is an audio interface, a standalone digital mixer, a 2 I/O MIDI interface, and a control surface for music software, all rolled into one compact package, with an amazing array of configurable bussing/routing options built in. It provides two channels of audio I/O to the computer via USB out of the box, and there is an optional PCI card (the EZ8) that provides multiple I/O with the standard digital I/O formats. There is no OS X driver for that card at the moment, but MacMusic's own venerable buserror was working on one the last I heard, so hope blooms eternal.

I personally don't know of any similar bang-for-the-buck item, so with this incentive and some Christmas money, I broke down and ordered one. I'll come back with war stories and show you my scars after it arrives.

Okay. It was merely an example of *one* option Event has open to them for getting their product to market--whether it's with you, specifically, or with some other more negotiable programmer. Your unilateral determination not to work on that basis doesn't preclude them from finding someone who is willing to work on that basis.

You assume you can find an 1) OSX developer who also 2) can write PCI drivers - at your local pub? Good luck!

Well, since you've fallen back to the tired old amateur-psychoanalysis "you must be paranoid" final refuge, I think I'll just let the incontrovertible and inarguable facts lie there and speak for themselves. I have some neglected whittlin' I've been meaning to do out on the porch anyway.

Don't forget your aluminium foil hat!
