The price...

The Synth = $350

The 3 x Expansion ROMs = $150 each

The package = $600.

Includes registered postage, Australia-wide.

Will post pics if need be.

And apologies to our international 'Punks... for my piece of mind, shipping this one within Australia only.

Cheers.

Another update...

Both the World and Techno expansion ROMs have been sold.

...and a significant price drop for SoundPunkers:



I should point out that I was reminded when testing the ROMs, the main jog wheel on the Proteus 2000 isn't functioning 100%. At slow rotations, it works perfectly, however, with fast spins it updates the parameter it's controlling somewhat erratically. So working through presets, it'll jump from 028 to 054 to 034 to 087 etc. Again at slow speeds, it updates the synth perfectly.

The synth is ideally used in conjunction with a computer sequencer so scrolling through factory presets and user patches can be performed from with the DAW itself. and no need to touch the synth. It doesn't affect the sound one bit, and and synth parameters are controlled from the DAW or PC Editor, or other four front-panel controller knobs, so no problems there either.

Shouldn't be a dampener on the performance of this synth at all, but with this in mind, happy to reduce the package price (Proteus 2000 + XtremeLead1 Expansion ROM) to the *SPECIAL SOUNDPUNK PRICE* of:

$250 Delivered Australia Wide via Registered / Insured Postage.
