How do you become a beta tester?

Hi , I'm new to the forum but have been following the Thummer online for a while. I mainly play bass and drums but I got started making music by creating hip hop beats in software. After learning two instruments and playing with other musicians, software feels like a chore compared to the fluidity of using your hands to make music in real time. Because of this, and my interest in making hip hop music again, I began looking into samplers and synths. My prior experience with pianos has included annoyance as I had a hard time learning chord relations as they were differently shaped everywhere compared to when I play bass where no matter in what key I play a major arpeggio its the same shape. Originally I planned to get an Akai MPC to use as my main midi controller and though it would work great for sampled/synthesized drum sampling/sequencing I began to realize in order to play melodies I would need to resort to the dreaded keyboard still. Then I found the Thummer and ever since I've wanted one to combine with a sampler/sequence (probably Akai MPC or rackmount Ensoniq ASR 10) so that I would have a layout that both would work well for percussion and for melodies.
This brings me to my question, as I've been waiting for so long to own a Thummer and as they still aren't on the market I'm wondering how to become a beta tester (if I could). I'd be more than happy to report my opinions and give any and all feedback possible. Also as I plan to do gigs of live hip hop (maybe left hand drums, right samples or melody, etc) with the Thummer and a sampler/sequencer it would get the name out a little in my area if I were a beta tester and in a market you are not really hitting, more underground style hip hop. I've read the thread about midi implimentation and as long as the Thummer I beta test has midi out it will fit my uses perfectly. If I would be qualified to beta test please reply back or PM me.
Someone desperately wanting a Thummer,
Gabe
