My checkbook has been open, waiting, since this suggestion first

appeared here on the forum. If you build it, I'll buy it.

I think 3-4 octaves instead of 4-5 octaves would position it as
an
affordable alternative to the Voyager, for those who already
have an
analog synth engine, CV and/or midi.

How ironic. This is what I *thought* I was buying in the
Regelwerk,
for precisely the reasons that Dieter describes. Unfortunately,
Doepfer seriously hobbled the Regelwerk by only including about
90% of
the Schaltwerk sequencer engine, leaving out some very key
features.

If the small version of the Schaltwerk is produced, bravo, but
where
will that leave me Stranded, that's where. I'm *very* fond of
those
faders :-)

Maybe the Regelwerk could also be upgraded to include the
remainder of
the Schaltwerk sequencer engine Perhaps as the new high-end
sequencer/controller
