Of course he doesn't, but that just makes it more impressive that I have
gotten a few answers myself when I have dropped a mail. I think it is great.
Only Kurzweil and Waldorf keeps up with that kind of service.

So do I know, but that was not my point. Shaltwerk is very much more
expensive and doesn't work in the same way as regelwerk. Really how much
more would it take to allow the regelwerk to switch from pattern 1 to
pattern 2 to pattern 3 etc... perhaps a little ram and a software change. I
for one would gladly pay a few euros to have that upgraded. It won't make it
a sequencer, but far more useful. Especially if I could figure out a way to
have it start and stop the seqencer from an external midi note on/off...

No I don't want shaltwerk to do that.I want regelwerk to do that AND be able
to switch patterns and why not act as a MIDI-Cv on one or a few of the
cv-outs. I just state the fact that the regelwerk is good, but small flaws
keeps it from beeing the monster machine it really should be and if the idea
is buy a regelwerk AND a shaltwerk then I think it is wrong cause then
probably most users will buy pocket-dial and MAQ instead. Lots cheaper and
not that much less capable.

Something that costs 800euros really should have quite something more than
the competition, and it doesn't so it has been a bit of a disappointment for
me. The A100 on the other hand has not.
