a short question regarding the steiner-filter:
will this filter have individual inputs for
the different filtertypes and the additional
allpass output (like the one from cynthia)?
this would be great, especially the individual inputs.

oh and i will order the a149-2 and a197 for sure, so
there are just 49 customers left ;)

best wishes
