I have always assumed this too, that it isn't really about the machines, but
more in the mind of sales... "hey lets make two machines and cripple them
both so they have to buy two machines to do the job of one!" But I usually
keep those conspirative ideas in my head, but now you know.

If this was the concept it could have been done a lot better too. The
regelwerk could have stayed clear of the seqencerbit all together and
instead have some midi-cv output capacity, Thus beeing a lot better with
midi and not doing a little of a lot of things. Also the sysex transfer
could have been better, now synths that require a checksum bit can't be
edited with sysex cause the string is too short. As you see I have tried to
use mine for many things and it fell flat just about everywhere. And it is a
bit costly as just an Roland MKS50 editor;)
