Re: On topic or not

2002-06-11 by buechlerjoe

The group spent a couple weeks discussing the upcoming touch 
controller at length. How is that on-topic, and the MAQ and ...Werk 
sequencers off-topic?

The only differences are: (1) the MAQ and ...werk sequencers already 
exist, and (2) a lot of people are unhappy with them and the lack 
of support from Doepfer. So in order to stifle the discontent, it 
gets labeled as "off-topic".

I suppose after the touch keyboard goes into production, it will be 
considered on-topic here as long as no one complains about it.

BTW I always get prompt replies from Dieter, but Chris never 
responds at all to my questions.
