thanks bakis, for the great news. it's nice to see doepfer take heed
when you suggest ideas to them. i will be buying 4 of these puppies
the minute they are available. i am thrilled at the propect of having
this filter in my arsenal, but a little saddened that the regelwerk
and schaltwerk still are not being developed further since the
upgrade was mentioned and discussed before this amazing filter came
to their attention. i just wish someone would see the importance of
having the ability to do tied notes instead of a constant barrage of
16th notes all the time, not musically inspiring or useful.

oh well, still keeping my fingers crossed thatr some better judgement
will prevail, if not, my schaltwerk and regelwerk will be retired
from the studio and on the ebay block they will go. the MPC 3000 and
Encore Electronics Expressionist Midi 2 CV is a much more powerful
combo right now then those 2 machines, which is a shame.
