The old poll question did not work for me. I generally want Doepfer to make as many modules as possible. But the new question does not work for my either, as there are some existing modules that I'll buy first.I have 2 racks of modules, which might be typical for a a100 user but might also be a lot less than average on this list.

I am not sure what question would generate the most useful feedback. I can think of two, one is a little survey with 3 or so questions (how exciting is this module, is it function covered by other modules, would you buy it) or the newly proposed question with a 5 point answering scale (1= buy it right away, 2 this year, 3 few years, 4 long future, 5 never) or (1=next module, 2= some other module first etc.)

ok, from now on, the polls will start with "Would you
Buy..."
