The hardware of the A-190-5 is finished but Christian is still working on
the firmware. We decided to postpone the A-190-5 firmware for the benefit of
the new A-190-4 module. A-190-4 is a replacement for the A-190-1 which has
been manufactured for more than 15 years without changes. Many customers
complained about the long-winded and old-fashioned operation. Especially
it's not possible to recall a parameter value because of the missing
display. The A-190-4 will have the same features as the A-190-1 but is
equipped in addition with USB and a 3-digit display to be able to recall all
current parameter values (like Midi channel, reference note, clock divider
and so on). As soon as the A-190-4 firmware is ready Christian will continue
with the A-190-5 (and then the A-157 series).

Sorry - we will be no at NAMM this year.

Best wishes
