Doepfer

no kidding, hence all my bitching and complaining about the ...werks. 
the boxes look great from the outside but they are so under powered, 
it makes sick to see them this way. personally,i think the regelwerk 
was put together to make use of all the the circuit boards that were 
laying around the shop. they already knew the cpu and memory were 
tapped on the schaltwerk, so why they built the regelwerk with the 
same the processor and memory scheme, i don't know. in the design and 
function process doepfer should of realised the regelwerk was gonna 
be limited from the get go. 

why they chose to release it this way is dumbfounding because now 
they are supposedly planning a cpu and memory board upgrade for both 
boxes. if they would have invested the proper time and resources into 
the developement of the regelwerk with a new cpu and memory, doepfer 
could have avoided the whole mess regarding these boxes. the 
schaltwerk would have been ready at the same time as the regelwerk 
was released. they would not have to play catch up and go through the 
ringer for releasing them so underpowered. not to mention the bad and 
negative image they garnered for releasing them this way and the 5 
years of an upgrade is coming and totally ignoring the requests from 
their paid customers who haved bought them. 

will doepfer ever admit they screwed up, i don't think so coming from 
their " all the boxes work as described in the manual" stance. i 
think they should bite a big chunk of the bullet when it comes to 
developement of the upgrade. the customers who have piad for the 
regelwerk basically helped doepfer recoup some of their costs from 
the schaltwerk fiasco. because of this both boxes are in a sorry 
state. hold on we need a new filter last week to come up with new 
sounds, but let's leave the controllers the way they are, who cares 
about having only 16th notes lengths. please put some thought into 
this mess and clean it up. 

i am sorry for the bandwidth but this subject brings up the " i feel 
i have been jooked " feeling everytime the S and R words come up.

patiently waiting for an upgrade so i can use them properly,
RM
