Analogue-sequencer

Hi Colin,

I am frequently amazed not just by the P3 but by your reponsiveness to
people's individuals comments and needs - and i think it takes some balls to
admit the unfinished nature of the P3 and it takes respect to listen the way
you do. I really appreciate it, and it is soooooo different from the
attitude of the most music tech  companies (Yamaha, Akai, anyone? )

For me the P3 has been the most fantastically creative tool and i doubt I
would ever sell it, but the interface is taking a long time to learn and is
not quite fast enough for me, but I think if one day you made a 16 track P3
with dedicated controllers and rows for each channel (and maybe a dedicated
drum channel) I personally would be very interested in it ...obviously it
would be expensive, but I suspect it would be the greatest hardware
sequencer ever made

Richard
