Sure. If everyone just followed the partyline and nodded their heads
in sycophantic approval without asking for new features and pointing
out when something actually sounds bad when it sounds bad, we would
end up with uniform blandness. Instead, we have a wealth of
impressive modules to chose from. I for one am glad that we can
openly say something needs improving or additonal functionality
without being flammed or told we are wrong. I am also very impressed
by Dieter's willingness and desire to provide the tools musicians
want. The Doepfer stable of modules is one of the most impressive
out there right now. Now, if we could just work on distribution and
delivery. (as I sit, tapping my foot waiting for new modules I
ordered in April) ;-)
