Well, I have given it some more thought. The bottom line actually is that I
as customer have a confidence in Doepfer to make good stuff. Thus I feel
sort of obliged to inform Doepfer when I think that they haven't produced
the result they could with they talent that is there. That is the bottom
line. I think that Doepfer can make better things than any of us users
could. So I just hope some of the input we give will be taken up. If I
though Doepfer was a lot of puts I just wouldn't bother and look for another
brand.
