Tom DiMuzio spent time with the Alpha-Trianguli modules and produced a series of demos that showed off the range of timbres the system could make. That matters because it shifts the story away from self-description and toward third-party evidence that the hardware was musically interesting in use.
At the time, roughly a dozen hand-built AT-327 prototypes were intended for sale at $350 each, plus twenty production prototypes at $250 each, with the idea that further manufacturing could ramp if the response justified it.
It is a useful checkpoint in the archive because it captures the moment where one-off hardware work starts edging toward an actual small product line.
