Q: **"Can you describe the testing process for a new machine? How long do you spend with a prototype, how many people use it, how many iterations does it go through before deciding on the specs for a production model?
I would call this more ‘design’ than ‘testing’ - while prototyping a lot of time is spent figuring out functionality and parametrization, i.e how it should work and how you should work with it. Testing this out at an early stage (prototyping) is crucial. An idea can be great in theory, but horrible in practice. For the Digitone I worked with Max and Gen to test everything, and when implemented on hardware we tested it further.”**
