Geeze, they really missed an opportunity: the electronic musician market.

Right now the electronic-music market is undergoing a massive explosion of new technologies - new products, new synths, just a real explosion of technology for music-makers.

Imagine if a company sprang up that could viably produce custom panels - real hardware - for all the synth software thats on the market? Do this, become the leader, and you will fill in a very big hole ..

Does anyone know how big the hobbyist market is for electronic musicians? I've noticed a lot of my acquaintances talk about "making beats", including a lot of people I'd never suspect. It's made me think that group is larger than I would have thought.

Its a multi-million dollar industry. Musicians are everywhere. There are a lot more hobbyist synth players than "professionals", although there seem to be a fair few of those too.
