Hello Oren,
Thanks for you reply!
Today you can used the MOD with Digitech, Line 6, Boss and any other sound processor. MOD was created to add and not to divide.
We believe that any musician should do what makes him happy, using the device he wants. We created MOD to pursuit this idea. MOD was created so musicians can use the effects from about anyone, any developer or any company that releases plug-ins in the LV2 extension.
MOD is not only a digital multi-effect pedalboard! It’s a computer, optimized for sound processing. It means that it runs an Operational System, optimized by us, so we can have much more than only sound effects. We will have sound recorders, plug-ins for collective creations, especific plug-ins for schools to address classes directly to their students, live streaming, sample sharing and much, much more!
Besides that, MOD was planned to support the whole developers community, such as an app store. If a developer wants to sell his plug-in, that’s ok, he should be paid for that!
MOD does not close its system, it opens it! We want as many developers as we can have creating unprecedent plug-ins! We also want the musicians to be able to use sound effects that they never thought about before.
We, different from the most companies out there, do not believe in the Planned obsolescence. Our concept is an ever-evolving idea.
About the price. Yes, we know it’s expensive. Only 30 pieces were produced for the first launch and at that scale prices rise sharply. On top of it, the production was set up in Brazil and that makes everything even more expensive.
There is a new model on the oven that shall be produced by crowdfunding and thus will have a much more accessible price. The USB support you argued about is included on the this new unit development, both for audio and network.
Hope you can try MOD some day. If you have any question or any other good ideas, let us know!
