The group spent a couple weeks discussing the upcoming touch
controller at length. How is that on-topic, and the MAQ and ...Werk
sequencers off-topic

The only differences are: (1) the MAQ and ...werk sequencers already
exist, and (2) a lot of people are unhappy with them and the lack
of support from Doepfer. So in order to stifle the discontent, it
gets labeled as "off-topic".

I suppose after the touch keyboard goes into production, it will be
considered on-topic here as long as no one complains about it.

BTW I always get prompt replies from Dieter, but Chris never
responds at all to my questions.
