an

have an

	How ironic. This is what I *thought* I was buying in the
Regelwerk, 
	for precisely the reasons that Dieter describes. Unfortunately, 
	Doepfer seriously hobbled the Regelwerk by only including about
90% of 
	the Schaltwerk sequencer engine, leaving out some very key
features.
	
	If the small version of the Schaltwerk is produced, bravo, but
where 
	will that leave me? Stranded, that's where. I'm *very* fond of
those 
	faders :-)
	
	Maybe the Regelwerk could also be upgraded to include the
remainder of 
	the Schaltwerk sequencer engine? Perhaps as the new high-end 
	sequencer/controller?

good point. another idea would be to add a 3-way switch to scale the 
octave up or down for a greater range.
