hi Paul,

yes this could be a good idea, but it would be better to have a new 
main cpu board that could do both versions of the Schaltwerk, big 
small. this way you could rescue the Schaltwerk and regelwerk from 
the purgatory they are stifled in and really open them up to be the 
great musical sequencers they deserve to be. by having a main cpu 
designed to be multiplatform, you just rewrite the code for the 
specific application the platform needs. the plus side to of all this 
is Doepfer has all the interface boards designed and manufactured.

when I did the tkb poll, I mentioned it, only it was for an sh101 
sytle sequencer and not a trigger schaltwerk style that could be 
ganged together from the tkb. the reason being, the ability to do 
tied notes to get out of the 16th note repetition. that would be much 
more useful if it were locked to a master clock or any subdivision 
from it.

the proposed tkb sequencer can be a great launch pad for the A100, it 
just needs a lot of musical function input and thought. I know, it's 
hard to please everyone,but let's at least try to brainstorm and 
discuss its future, so it can a wonderful addition to the already 
wonderful A100.
