With the tragic passing of Laurent Coray there has been concern about
what will happen to the Octet products that he designed and sold.

MIDIator Systems is proud to announce that we are setting up production
of those units.  We are now in the process of filling prior commitments.
We should be ready to accept new orders in a few weeks.

 [ Editor's note:
 [
 [ Ron is perhaps the best-qualified person we can think of to take over
 [ the products designed by Laurent Coray.  His background is electrical
 [ engineering, and for many years he worked alongside Dave Saul at the
 [ U.S. Navy lab in San Diego.  A few years ago he purchased the MIDIator
 [ product line from Laurent, as so he knows the design philosphy which
 [ Laurent applied to the Octet MIDI products.  Like Laurent did, Ron
 [ understands very well the special problems encountered when adding new
 [ electronic devices into old mechanical music instruments.
