I think they want one box that does everything well?

  My opinion (I'm not Colin) is that you should look at using/buying a 
  different sequencer for that type of functionality. Just as you 
  don't have only 1 synthesizer for making sounds, or 1 effects unit 
  for all effects, sometimes it's better to have more than one type of 
  sequencer. It's impossible to get every feature and every variation 
  successfully implemented in one hardware box.

  Yes, you can jam tons of new functionality into a box, but when does 
  the level of complexity (source coding and user interface) become so 
  high that it is impossible to use and maintain?

  It's better to have a few boxes that do one thing well instead of 
  having 1 box that does everything poorly.
