Doepfer

thanks florian,
i totaly agree with you in the comparison between
MOTM(or other expensive modulars)and DOEPFER!!!
also,i think you are right about this endless
discussion about the upgrade of
regelwerk/shaltwerk...(but,please let's not reply to
each other with "shut up"and things like
that,o.k.??:-)...)
by the way,i don't have a MAQ,or regelwek,or
shaltwerk,so i can't say anything about
them,really....but as far as i know dieter,is a very
nice man,that cares about his customers,and does what
he does because he loves his work,not just to make
money...,o.k.??so,if he tells us that it's difficult
to upgrade the shaltwerk/regelwerk,he must be
right...after all, let's see how many people are ready
to pay these extra 300 euros for a hardware upgrade.if
you see that are more that 10(according to the polls),
then please address your requests directly to doepfer
or chris assall.)
AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH DOEPFER ON HIS INTEREST TO
ALWAYS DEVELOP MORE NEW MODULES FOR THE A100!!!THAT'S
THE MAIN BEAUTY OF A MODULAR SYNTHESIZER...
AND,AGAIN,DOEPFER MODULES ARE GIVING EVERYONE MANY
FEATURES FOR A GOOD PRICE(a thing that you can't say
about MOTM,TECHNOSAURUS or SERGE and all those
overpriced modulars,o.k.???)
just think of one thing:if serge would release a
sensor-keyboard like the new one from deopfer(see the
doepfer site!!!)it would cost,at least,DOUBLE THE
PRICE(or triple???),and probably fewer people could
afford it!!!!!!!!!! 
that's my opinion.
keep on synthesizing,everyone...
