My 2 cents :

The real problem is not to know if the schaltwerk subject is offtopic or
not : the _real_ problem is Doepfer attitude about that gear and users
that bought it !
I understand that Doepfer have no time to upgrade the schaltwerk software,
but they can release it as free software ("Gnu Public License" or "BSD
license" for example). If they do so, I would certainly buy such a gear !
