Thank you for your response,
I agree with what your telling me. However, the customer usually doesn’t know the cost of each part used in manufacturing the product and is mainly looking to get the best out of the product at least in its warranty period and long run as well. I appreciate you explaining about the cost of these buttons. However I think I would have still purchased the MC 4000 even if it costed 25% to 50% considering the unit can withstand a beating and is a reliable product. Quality is really important, and I’m not saying that is something the MC 4000 lacks, in fact it’s built like a tank, metal posts for the nobs, good quality faders, and metal build. However if there can be an upgrade when it comes to the buttons would be must appreciated. May be the MC4000 MK2, can be the controller you incorporate it into. Thank you again.
