First of all... don't shoot the messenger. Who is actually to blame, the
customer with the bad hairdo or the hairdresser

Now to the point. I would never have brought up regelwerk in here unless it
was manufactured by said company and said to be the perfect tool and
accompanyment for making cv-loops to run the A100. So bare with me and you
might even get an idea of what I wanted to do with it and the A100. Here we
go:

I wanted a step sequencer that could output more than one cv and one gate.
Why I wanted to make stepping changes to filters and modulations in my
A100. So what I wanted was to have one line that controlled the pitch of the
VCO another in sync that modified the QCV and Frq of the A122 and another to
changes the PCV of the A111. Basicly I wanted the same control over the loop
as Midi-CCs give me over my K2000rs. None of this works for me cause I
haven't gotten around to syncing my loop with my midi-sequencer. I may be
possible but the manual doesn't make me understand how. I can't chain
patterns which makes it very repetitive and dull in a song... So I went out
and bought a midi-cv converter which is now broken(will have to fix that)
which leaves me with a sequencer that doesn't do anything for me.

I didn't pay small money for the regelwerk, I choose it cause the exterior
looked proffessional and the salesman insured me it was as good as an analog
sequencer gets. The specs seemed good to. B.t.w. the car comparison faults
cause it there is no air-conditioner, no stereo or wooden panels - you can
buy them in the deluxe upgrade for any brand if you like. I would gladly pay
say a 100 euro to have all the things I think could be expected from the
regelwerk. Perhaps more if they convince me that new hardware indeed
justifies it, but still I think I have paid for it cause 700 Euro isn't toys
money to me.

Btw, Bakkis DON'T BY A REGELWERK. Wait for the upgrades otherwise you too
will be waiting in vane.

AS for the general problem about upgrades I think it was solved good with
the MAQ16/3 and could be done the same way. Included in new models and for a
cost to those who want it in their old machines. Nothing strange about
that...

All said in as friendly a tone as possible;)
