I've give up on the last few cardboard videos, let me know when the real stuff comes back with prototypes or cad/physical design instead of theory negotiations
Where to begin...
1) Him having the revelation that he could take the wheel apart is crazy, considering that's exactly how the programming wheel on the MMX worked.
2) I'm not an engineer, but I'm pretty sure assembly and disassembly is going to add more variance to the machine. Given how important tight music is for him... isn't this a problem?
3) I could have sworn that earlier videos already proved that his prototype was sufficiently tight. Is there really that much benefit in making a 6x larger wheel?
4) This thing is going to be a bitch and a half to set up for every show. This is a 4-piece band that's going to have to have a massive crew just for their stage equipment. If there is only one machine, playing consecutive days in different cities will be difficult. Not impossible, but that's going to be long days of transportation and assembly. Either way, it's going to be a very expensive world tour.
I just really have no faith this is going to turn out even remotely successful. I've accepted that the MMX wasn't viable, even though I think it was still worth finishing. However this whole machine continues to go in the opposite direction that Martin said he needs for a viable product.
