I think that the problem is that Ted expects a software developer to spend considerable time and resources to code a recognition system that only aging Roland users ever used, and most have moved on from if they aren’t still stuck with their aging Roland.

That’s a microscopic segment of his potential customer base..!

If I were in Ted’s situation, I might try to contact the developer and ask how much money would persuade the dev to add the Roland OFS system to the options. Would $500 do it? If he says yes, that’s money well spent! Mind you, I’d lowball him to start with… $250?! 😂
