Re: OT $1.95 synth!



Back in the day of analogue synths, like mid eighties, I heard that the market (moneys in) for synths all together equalled the market of one big Safeway. And that was when a good synth cost big bucks.

For so long I've wondered, "Why don't music software companies price
like game software?" Sell many units for less.

Because the size of the markets aren't even close to the same. I
don't have any hard data, but I'd be surprised if the number of units
of game software sold isn't at least a hundred times larger than the
number of units of music software. You can't "make it up in volume"
if there is no volume.
