Most of these useless modules have been suggested and discussed by the
members of this group !

We never promised to have available Mac based editor programs as we have no
programmer in the company who is familiar with Mac programming. I have
mentioned this several times and there is a corresponding note on our
website too. I understand that this is a drawback but I have no short-term
solution. If there is somebody in this group who is able to program such a
software I'd be happy to pay him for this job.

If you tell me what you are missing we could try to start a discussion on a
civilized base. We have already developed an improved main board for the
MAQ16/3 (with more memory and CV/Gate outputs). So I think you cannot accuse
us that there is no support for older devices. But please keep in mind that
there are limitation due to the microprocessor used in the MAQ16/3 (8051
derivate) and not everything is possible that may be desirable. Even the
available controls (only 8 buttons with LEDs and the 3-digit display) limit
the possibilities for a software update. From my point of view even with the
current software the controls are already a bit overstrained.

Excellent idea. How about a poll ;-)
