Thank you, kitsch, I very much agree. I've always done my best to keep the peace, especially when people we threatening legal action. I know it's a one guy operation, but why are the customers the ones left feeling like arseholes? I wouldn't have any hard feelings if he fulfilled the order - I don't know how many other people are still waiting, but I felt it was safe to say that half a decade was probably a good time to ask.

I shall keep people updated.

Is Chip Maestro some kind of re-imagining of Midines?
Edit: Nevermind :S

He's posted updates recently on the Kickstart page comments: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jar … e/comments

yah anyone hear anything from that guy?

*mumble mumble bleep bloop carts mumble*

midines scandel is the silver cord running through chipmusic it seems like.  as far as 'internet world' goes, there has always been a midines thread like this.  just amazing...

yet, a lot of people (myself included) got theirs in a couple weeks even at the height of the (pretty heated) thread over on 8bc.  that inconsistency in order fulfillment is perhaps the worst of it.

best of luck, and PLEASE if you find a solution to this let other people know

(i envision a chip maestro 'reaction' too if dude doesn't hurry the hell up, its gotten to be head scratching now)

All of it is wishful hoping at this point. He probably has no intent on ever sending me one, but it wasn't something I purchased lightly, it took me a while to justify the purchase. It wasn't until after I'd purchase it that I mentioned to a friend and he said "Hah, midines? Good luck. I know people who have been waiting for a year", that was back in 2008. I mean, George Bush was still in power when I ordered this thing!

I'd rather just have the midines I paid for, than spend $250 for another one.

I'm not saying it's a proper thing to do at all!

I'd seen that, yeah, hasn't been active for over a year though. I've kept up to date with what was happening, always sent him an email asking what was happening, he said something about sending one out, about a year and a half back, I think it was, then stopped replying to my emails.

It may be wishful thinking, just think it's a pretty shitty thing to do, take money from someone then ignore them for five years.

If you must have one and after waiting five years I can't see you wouldn't want to.

Possibly of interest; http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/6141/fate-of-midines/

Do you really think he will give you a refund after five years? To me this is wishful thinking.

last i heard he was doing more modular synth stuff, though that was a few years back...might be on some modular synth forums then?
