I was one of the first A157 owners I think, bought two sets that time.
Had some friendly conversations about firmware and bugs which where mostly covered with updates.
But indeed, the limited success of this quite unique and very direct trigger sequencer was due to that same lack of progress.
I think it was launched too early having a lot of missing implemented functions.
It’s great for quickly building sequences and as clocking device bit in the end, even I as a big fan with a huge wall of Doepfer only, I sold them recently.

Cheers,

Jacco
