Aleph is massively overpriced. For the same money you could get a laptop, a knobby controller, and a copy of Max/MSP or Reaktor, or Reason. Or a bunch of Eurorack modules of similar capabilities, or [fill in one of many blanks]. I think it would have to get under $700 to sell well; further more the tiny form factor is actually a negative because it doesn't give you a whole lot of hands-on control, nor is it suitable for performance ergonomically. The reaction I've heard from other electronic musicians has been essentially 'a solution in search of a problem.' While Monome were among the first to innovate in this area, the steep price premium isn't justified when you can get similar or better functionality for less than half the price for most of their offerings.

Here in Argentina we are in permanent summer time GMT-3 since a long time, but we should be in GMT-4.
You should do some basic research yourself.
