As if Hawtin can't afford another one.... still sucks someone stole it though.

apart from the extra sends what else does this fabled piece of equipment do?
stealing it was a completely dickheaded idea though... where are you going to be able to use it? You're never going to be able to sell it and you can't show it to anyone lest they email the minus massive.
Great idea

$10,000
divided by 4 hours =
$41.66 per minute x 20 minutes = $833.33

so prolly more like a half hour to pay for a new one.. lol

but it's odviously not about the money. if someone stole hendrix's guitar, i'm sure he could have afford a new one too.

this mixer is a pivotal piece, and a working prototype with much sentimental value, i'm sure.

the people who stole it will have to wait 100 years before they can sell it, and even then they'd probably still get lynched. how dumb.

Or they could just give it back to Richie and cash in the reward.

adding mods to a a&h 62 seems fairly simple. nothing so custom it can't be replicated easily. they just added midi to control two laptops without a mouse from what it looks like, maybe added sends/returns if it didnt have them already. his dad's a electrical engineer and built it for him using the midibox.org/ucapps hardware, so really he's not out much. sentimental value of course & time spent building a new one. now if it was his custom rig he used for the plastikman show at mutek, thats a different story. that thing was a complete custom job probably took a half year or more to assemble/build. either way its a shitty thing to do to anyone.
