have you actually read the reports and comments from the doepfer ez

try reading other synth groups and see how others praise the gear and
service they recieved from said companies.

practically every other sequencer out there does long notes or ties
them together. is it too much to ask for doepfer has 3 hardware
sequencers that send nothing but 16th notes lengths. the gate time
for extending note length doesn't do the trick. basically what have
here is 3 different boxes which do the same thing. reminds me of 4
fader boxes.at least one of them, especially the schaltwerk, it
should have such a feature, considering all the features it has. not
being able to tie notes together is a gross omission!

are telling me, that you would not want to have that function
included on your machine. music is made up whole, half, and quarter
notes and so on, not limited to 16th notes only.

in the case of the schaltwerk, i paid Mercedes money and received a
Volkswagen beetle engine. do not confuse the issue with A100 modules
as you seem to be doing below.

hence , the reason i bought Doepfer A100 modular in the first place
and not a Serge. every system offers different features at different
prices.

just curious What leads you to believe that I am stingy. i have
spent , i would say quite a bit money, that could have gone to
another manufacturer. so maybe i have the right ask for a few lines
of code to have a function that should not have been such an oversite.

i did and i want it to at least make sense musically speaking.
by the way, it does not bode well on you to write a statement like
the one above.
