FWIW, I sent an email to Fractal asking if they had sent me my notice and I had accidentally deleted it as I had received a confirmation on 10/13. They assured me they had not sent me a notice yet and that I was on the list. He added:
"Hundreds of people signed up in the first hours of the 13th. Demand is extremely high. Your wait as, many others may take a while."
So I am encouraged it did not miss my window, and assured by window is coming, but it may take awhile. But pretty anxious like the rest. Oh well, patience.
Also, seems like a significant growth in users for Fractal... which, in my thinking it wonderful for us and for Fractal. For Fractal because is pays off all the R&D and encourages them to keep keeping on. For us, this product is a virtual inexhaustible pallet of variable tones. I am looking forward to what others come up with. Back when I had my Ultra I never tired of playing with its parameters. And I hear it is so much better now! Cheers.
