Ingo,

I agree. Much as I love my two MAQ's I will purchase the TKB when it becomes available and it makes sense for this unit to be the grown up version of all preceding Doepfer sequencers.

hello dieter,

from my point of view it makes more sense to incorporate
these "improvements" into the forthcoming sequencer module
(for the tkb) instead of making a new maq16/3.
maybe this forthcoming sequencer can be the successor
of the maq16/3. the features seem to be quite similar.

best wishes

ingo
