I just wanted to add here, I am the "rachel" who posted the message that
ringmod quoted.  I wasn't expecting him to, but I do not mind.
I think I should add here:

I have only an A100 Mini system, but I am planning a much larger set of 
-modules.  I bought the MAQ 16/3 primarily because it is considered a 
part of the A100 (although it's a subset) by Doepfer.  I intend to build 
a system that will use the MAQ as the primary controller.  In this instance.
I do not consider discussion of the MAQ off topic!  I consider the MAQ as 
much a part of the A100 system as the rest of it.

There is another yahoogroups list for the MAQ just started that I subscribed to
yesterday, but I appear to be the only subscriber, other than the admin.

The web based forum for the doepfer products is a bit of a stinker - I hate 
web based forums at the best of times, hence I usually use email.
Anywhere that is discussing the MAQ 16/3 is of use to me, since it is
such an inscrutable and poorly documented piece of (expensive) equipment.

I am quite perturbed by Doepfer (the company) ignoring my posts to them
regarding what I consider a definite bug in the firmware, wrt to Clock sending
on External synch.  If ringmod's postings here annoy people, I am sorry,
but I tend to agree about this one, since stirring the possum a bit 
is often the only way to get some answers.....

Anyway, I shall leave it at that for now.....
