Andreas,

I hear you. The A-155 is a no-go for now - I'm not up to
spending another 230 $ for something just to get what I'm
considering more as an incremental improvement (as
opposed to a completely new feature set). Midi / cheapo
sequencer would definitely do the trick, but didn't I
buy my A-100 not to go back to the world I just
came from... So I guess I'd buy one of the three module
combinations instead (see previous post).

About the dynamics of Mr. D and his community. Know
what, this is really interesting in a way. Without being involved
too long, this is sort-of the classic behaviour. I guess
Mr. D never had a vision of himself steering an online
community, but building cool products. Those are like two
really different mindsets.

Like having seen lots of communities, my guess is Mr. D
is experiencing all this for the first time. You really need
practice handling such "one-to-many" virtual relationships.
And you only learn once its over. While you're inside
your first community you've built from scratch, you get
a slightly distorted, god-like feeling (hey, people wrote
entire books about this). The tough part essentially is that
you see yourself reflected in the market. And if your
reflection knows more about you than you yourself
(ie. the community knows best what modules to do next)
you get this strange feeling of being obsolete, or better,
becoming predictable. And everyone hates that at first
and reacts with doing something deliberately unpredictable.

So I'd say you can't really blame Mr D, it's all just natural
behaviour.

Easy trick... no I don't think so. It is probably most possible
to get your
seqencer from an 155 and a few other modules together, but not
easiely done
I guess. I once proposed that timing offset should be added to
the note
steps in any doepfer module or seqencer box, but as usual I am
talking to a
wall. That was five years back or so... I wonder if Doepfer
responds to user
wishes and then how many of us will it take or perhaps "whom of
us" To me
it seems like they spawn an idea at doepfer and just test it on
us to find
out if we dislike it, don't really care of if enough of us are
exited about
it rather than actually take a suggestion from the outside.

My way of doin what you want is midi and a cheapo sequencer(no
werk box).
