Hi Andreas,

good to see that your back. I hope all is well. yeah the schaltwerk
is still boxed and sitting idle. I don't feel like dumping it for .20
cents on the dollar. until the mini schaltwerk business came up. I
was waiting for Ripe101 to finish his revision of the code before
giving up on it. if his OS is what it should have been in the first
place, I will hang on. if the new doepfer is better , i will
entertain that as well. Right now my support is 150% behind Ripe101.
I wish i knew more about coding so I could help out.Hey Ripe Take it
to the Bridge. I will be there for him when he needs users to beta
test his OS and give him a financial hand for effort.

A really cool sequencer that will be available soon is the Signal
Arts Performance Sequencer you can access the url below.

http://home.eol.ca/~jeffry/satseq.htm

A matrix of an infinite number of sequences, now you can create
whatever you wish, in any order, any pattern: up, down, side-ways.
You will not run out of sequences! Multiple sequence trigger modes
allows for a more intuitive, dynamic expression of oneself, without
being fixed to preset patterns. Plus every modulation possibility for
a controlled, instantaneous and expression-filled performance! There
is no other step sequencer like this one.

Here are some of the features.

16 Banks
of 8 Sequences
of 8 Steps
All times Multiple Instances
Per-Step Pitch, Velocity, Controller Value
Per-Step Duration and Note Duration
Per-Step Slew Rate
A Full-Featured Three Channel Polyphonic Midi to CV Converter

I think this open approach might do it for me. goodluck and happy
patching.

Regards,
RM
