As an artist I really dont want the only reason to be in a room is that someone thought my electronics was neat.

For code that should available for free, its a bad deal. I think the ability to update software is something that should be included stock with any product, even if they want to charge for the software. If they baked the cost into the full project, no one would notice but to tack it on feels like nickel and diming. To put it another way, what if Sony charged for firmware updates?
If its based on anything that is gpl'd it should be gpl'd. If it based 100% on unique code they should come out and say so. So that is a concern.
You cant rackmount a doughnut shaped dock is my other major complaint. I also dont understand if they made a pcb, why are the arduinos socket ed, why not just make it a all in one project? I'm not trashing the product, but if you put something out on the market you should expect user feedback, even if it is not solicited. It just feels like they frankensteined a bunch of different products together and it doesnt really advance the concept very far beyond what is already out there.

Im part of the underclass that couldnt really afford things if they weren't made in china to offset the complete lack of consideration in allowing the average american income to keep pace with rampant inflation. If the chinese government wants to leverage the health of its people and long term future of its economy so if I can get jorts for $10, im not one to argue.
My problem with the synthboy is that it doesn't really seem all that practical for me as a performing musician. Its more of a studio fetish object to post on twitter about. Really wish they went with a more practical 1/3 ru design and allowed you to simply run a db9 cable instead of that stupid dock (which seems to really impede use of the dmg while it is in it), and there are troubling moral questions about the IP used to create this.
I would totally pay $$$ for a breakout box made right, but all things considered, I think I'll have to pass. Also $50 extra for the code and a ftdi header? No thanks.
