ditto.i said it once and i will say it again " bakis you are doing a
great job of moderating and communicating with the powers that be at
doepfer. your input is valuable to us all as well as the other
members of the group. thanks for keeping an open mind with regards to
the ...werk boxes. once they are upgraded, they will become what joe
said " the Regelwerk damn well had the potential to be, like, the
coolest piece of music gear in the universe." believe me once the
quirks and proper functions sets are worked out. you will want to
have the 8 cv gate channels, pattern memory and song chaining to
control your A100.
peace out,
RM
