Doepfer

I was chatting yesterday with none other than Mr. Rex Probe of Sound 
Transform Systems, maker of the Serge synth, and commented on the 
new, upcoming Doeph KB, which will obviously become a major 
competitor for his TKB. He stated that he worries little, since he 
doubts the German toy will match the performance specs of his 
product. Besides the obvious (i.e. a 64-step sequencer) he does not 
think the plates will be as sensitive or responsive to touch as his. 
Hmmmmmmm. Mr. Doepfer, please take note. I know somebody already 
commented about preferring an obsolete sequencer (or none at all) for 
the sake of a high-quality keyboard, and I second that opinion. Let's 
make it a sensitive, reliable real-time performance tool (there are 
already too many darn step sequencers out there, anyway!!). GIVE US 
GOOD, RESPONSIVE TOUCH PLATES, THAT TRIGGER E.G.'S WITH THE SLIGHTEST 
CARESS OF THE FINGER!! Pitch bending options are welcome, but you 
already make a superb joy stick. Just make the BEST DAMN KEYBOARD OUT 
THERE, GUYS!!!
