Robert,

you do not criticize me but the poll results ! Many (but not all) of the
latest modules are based on suggestions by customers of this group. For the
A-138x everything started end of 2006 because some customers wanted to have
more than only 4 inputs for their A-138 mixers. The poll results for the
mixer expander A-138x from December 15, 2006 were these:

POLL QUESTION: Would you like Doepfer to release a "Mixing Expander" module
that would be used to add 5 more inputs to A-138a/b [It will be about
20-30% cheaper than an A-138a/b, as no integrated circuits and no power
supply are necessary for such a simple module]

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes!, 19 votes, 67.86%
- maybe..., 4 votes, 14.29%
- No., 5 votes, 17.86%


Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
