hi florian, i appreciate your of view, but you have to call a spade a
spade. you should appreciate my point of view as well. i believe it
is not off topic, doepfer is the only company that continually
ignores its customers requests. proof, ripe 101 is taking matters
into his own hands to clear up a situation that could of have been
clearly avoided with just a little extra thought and care.

the reason i am showing this to the group is for the benefit the
company and its customers. it hurts me to see doepfer get slagged on
other newsgroups. i ask bakis to foward the emails to doepfer because
they actually respond to bakis' mail. the posts in question hovered
for more than a week without a response from doepfer. it does bode
well on a company to ignore its customers. i am writing about this
because i actually care a lot.

can you honestly tell me that you would not want to do tied-notes a
la TB 303 with your schaltwerk. i don't live in a steady 16th note
universe and the schaltwerk and i should not be tied down to a such
restrictive note length. all of the MAQ and ....werks suffer from
16th note output only. the A155 can do longer note lengths, so why
can't the bigger boxes i mean these boxes have a cpu in them. so in
order to do a song within the A100 i would need 16 A155's, 4 A150's,
4 A151's and 4 A160/161's to create a 16 different bars of music
which i would be able to do with one of those boxes if it had the
function there to begin with and on top of that have the luxury of
memory to recall the pattern at a later date. i like seqeunced music
but not the same 16th note repetetive ostinato pattern. its all about
control. if the maq and ...werk boxes had the simple note tie
function added it would change things for the better. the price of 16
A155's, 4 A150's, 4 A151's and 4 A160/161's to create patterns with
more note values than just 16th notes and to do it strictly in the
A100 is a little cost prohibitive in my eyes. i believe this was the
reason they designed these boxes in the first place. i just wish
doepfer could the light on this very needed feature.

in post #1716 i show how i go around the schaltwerk note problem. the
schaltwerk has an tactile surface but the functions inside the the
box are litle stymied. i wish to control my A100 with the schaltwerk
own cv gates instead of using a midi2cv. is that too much to ask for

regards,
RM
