Hi Andreas, 

good to see that your back. I hope all is well. yeah the schaltwerk 
is still boxed and sitting idle. I don't feel like dumping it for .20 
cents on the dollar. until the mini schaltwerk business came up. I 
was waiting for Ripe101 to finish his revision of the code before 
giving up on it. if his OS is what it should have been in the first 
place, I will hang on. if the new doepfer is better , i will 
entertain that as well. Right now my support is 150% behind Ripe101. 
I wish i knew more about coding so I could help out.Hey Ripe Take it 
to the Bridge. I will be there for him when he needs users to beta 
test his OS and give him a financial hand for effort.

A really cool sequencer that will be available soon is the Signal 
Arts Performance Sequencer you can access the url below.

http://home.eol.ca/~jeffry/satseq.htm

A matrix of an infinite number of sequences, now you can create 
whatever you wish, in any order, any pattern: up, down, side-ways. 
You will not run out of sequences! Multiple sequence trigger modes 
allows for a more intuitive, dynamic expression of oneself, without 
being fixed to preset patterns. Plus every modulation possibility for 
a controlled, instantaneous and expression-filled performance! There 
is no other step sequencer like this one.

Here are some of the features.

16 Banks 
of 8 Sequences 
of 8 Steps 
All times Multiple Instances 
Per-Step Pitch, Velocity, Controller Value 
Per-Step Duration and Note Duration 
Per-Step Slew Rate 
A Full-Featured Three Channel Polyphonic Midi to CV Converter 

I think this open approach might do it for me. goodluck and happy 
patching.

Regards,
RM
