Dylan Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Their [url=http://www.alesis.com/]website[/url] isn't up, so I just had to ask. Anyone know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Hmmmm...... Interesting. I saw a similar inquiry on another forum, but this is the first I've heard about the website being down. I got a 404 error when I tried to view it too. I sure hope it's just for maintenance. I can't imagine you'd buy a company for all that $$$ and then just shut it down completely a couple months later.

Nika Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 I can't get to the website either, but they just shipped me A LOT of stuff today, so I have to imagine they're alive and well. Thanx! Nika. For more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halljams Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 I remember hearing about 6 months ago that they were going under. Check out SUPERVIBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 They filed for chapter 11 near the end of April and were bought out 6 weeks later by Jack O'Donnell, the owner of Numark. I believe that this thread is speaking more recently than that. Nika. For more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika.[/b][/quote] Yeah, They emptied the warehouse and ran. :D Seriously though, your buddy David S says he's in regular contact with them so that's a good sign. But the website and phones are still a mystery. www.blairsdevillestudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix_dup1 Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Wonder if they're revising the website in conjunction with the AES show... or maybe they're just experiencing technical difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 To qutoe Phil O'Keefe: "I can't imagine you'd buy a company for all that $$$ and then just shut it down completely a couple months later." for Phil, three words: Gibson and Opcode. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysexguy Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 or Yamaha and Sequential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Point taken. Still, Yamaha used Sequential's technology (Vector synthesis) and probably had strategic reasons for that aquisition, and Gibson, well, they're basically idiots... I don't see an upside for Numark's head in buying Alesis unless he planned on doing SOMETHING with the company. Of course, I COULD be wrong... :) BTW, that phone number got me a private residence...

Marvster Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 There's now a "new server" message up from Verio. I'd guess Alesis is switching servers or hosting services and someone in IT simply forgot to do a transition plan. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
