a silver finish and blue led's are not going to help me to tie notes 
together instead of having a steady stream of 16th notes coming from 
the cv and gate outputs. i don't know about the rest of the world, 
but i like to make music that has whole, half and maybe a quarter 
note in one bar of music. you can tie notes on the A155 which doesn't 
have a CPU, but heaven forbid you can do that on the MAQ16/3, 
Regelwerk  and Schaltwerk which have a CPU, where a few lines of code 
would solve the problem. what the machines really need is a solution 
to fix the software and hardware inadequacies present in these 
machines. it makes me pale to see them left hung out to dry while 
these new versions come out. the question is, what is more important, 
blue led's and a silver finish or a clear and solid OS that makes the 
machines work properly or how about a machine that is not choked by 
having less memory and a slower cpu for a machine that has room for 
expansion with a little extra memory and a faster cpu. i feel that 
corners have been cut, when they should not have been. someone, 
please help me out here, i feel like i have been jooked a little bit. 
or maybe i am having a flashback from a place that never existed and 
this is not the real world. 

anxiously waiting for something to happen,

hi list members, i don't even bother with the doepfer ez board 
anymore, but after i wrote those posts, i decided to check to check 
it out and see if there was a glimmer of hope. i am not dreaming this 
stuff up.  please read the doepfer ez board posts for yourself and do 
tell me i am smoking some wack shit. here is a post from the doepfer 
ez board to prove my point. remember people we are in the year 2002.

Reply  I still check every once in awhile for a new OS

 I used to own a schaltwerk, but I sold it... I spoke with doepfer in 
1997 about getting a new OS with some of the often requested 
features, and I was told it would happen soon (within the year), well 
it's been 5 years and nothing ever happened.

Instead they give us blue LEDs  

I would consider getting another Schaltwerk if it had note duration 
capability (also a rotate seq, and auto pattern save)... too bad.

keep poking them though Roman, it may happen some year!

Why not just use a MIDI to CV converter for your synth you want tied notes
with and get on with your business?

Is this about the new A198 having no point or about the designflaw in
shaltwerk/regelwerk? I am not sure...

the thought behind my posts is why is should i bring other boxes to 
do a job that could and should have been implemented in the first 
place. notice how all 3 of their sequencers only send 16th notes in 
duration. when i do live shows i want to keep gear to a bare minimum 
to avoid hang up's. carrying around a mid2cv box and cables, plus 
another sequencer think about. less machines equates to less 
possibilities for error and it is more compact.
