Thanks Colin,

 I appreciate that. I case it doesn´t fit.. just two thinks. The way it´s been implemented already works for me,but as non keyboardist,note chords are not triggered on time quantized but a rookie player sound.

If not either Could I suggest a custom OS for 5 demanding ones with chords as other user suggested that nice knob mode?

In order to get enough space I´ll choose some features I never use or will use insted and those would be deleted( example I own 4 different dedicated delay machines Why should I need a terrible sounding midi delay? I know if is not implemented yet..
. I could wire you some money for your time and effort as I always wanted the " ultimate minimal detroit step one box sequencer" and I would like to come back to producing.

Best;

Hans
