Are they going to make more than 7 of these?

Usually they only manufacture 7 examples of what they sell.

Five to give to YouTube review channels and two to actually sell.

When those two sell out they wait 29 months and then make two more.

Or so it seems.

My local synth shop (Patchwerks in Seattle, heavily recommend, they even have an online store; no affiliation with them besides being an occasional customer) keeps restocking in noticeable numbers and selling out of their TE equipment (and no, not just Pocket Operator series) on regular. People actually buy it. The only time when it is somewhat not easy to acquire TE equipment is within the first month or two after the release for their more popular devices. You can even go on the official TE website now and easily purchase anything released last year (minus limited edition/limited run items, but that's just meh), with the only wait being the time it takes for package shipping from Sweden (which takes like a week or so to arrive to your address in the US).
