hi Paul,

yes this could be a good idea, but it would be better to have a new
main cpu board that could do both versions of the Schaltwerk, big
small. this way you could rescue the Schaltwerk and regelwerk from
the purgatory they are stifled in and really open them up to be the
great musical sequencers they deserve to be. by having a main cpu
designed to be multiplatform, you just rewrite the code for the
specific application the platform needs. the plus side to of all this
is Doepfer has all the interface boards designed and manufactured.

when I did the tkb poll, I mentioned it, only it was for an sh101
sytle sequencer and not a trigger schaltwerk style that could be
ganged together from the tkb. the reason being, the ability to do
tied notes to get out of the 16th note repetition. that would be much
more useful if it were locked to a master clock or any subdivision
from it.

the proposed tkb sequencer can be a great launch pad for the A100, it
just needs a lot of musical function input and thought. I know, it's
hard to please everyone,but let's at least try to brainstorm and
discuss its future, so it can a wonderful addition to the already
wonderful A100.
