That's an excellent idea. I'll forward it to Christian Assall who will write
the firmware.

Even this is a good idea. I think we will start a poll if it's time. At the
moment it is too early as we are in preparations for NAMM (mainly the latest
firmware for the bit cruncher/modifier). But in February/March 2008 we will
probably begin with the MTV16 firmware (that's only a preliminary internal
term).
