i know, seems surprising to me too.  i use my a177 all the time and not jus=
t for 
changing mixturs on the a113.  in fact, i use it more than i use the 198 ri=
bbon 
or a178 theremin, and if using the a198 or a178, the gate pedals are always=
 
in use.  i find it much easier to play note on-off w a pedal than w the tri=
cky 
pressure gate on the 198 ( mine requires a bionic finger to push it hard 
enough) or the dodgy response of the theremin gate.  and with all the hoopl=
a 
about a manual gate being so important..  hellooo, the a177 has 2 of them.
