I "fed" them 3000$ already. Lots of donuts for all I can say....

yes, specially if that makes the user feel great about having such a 
product. Next time a new elektron product comes out the confidence in 
buying it would be much higher don't you say? If it was hard to 
implement then maybe but if it was relatively easy to do...

If money is all that goes in your head then include it in the MD-UW

no it's not. They're all about the same price. I just payed 1600$ for

price.

Clavia is working a a new patchmutator/randomizer that will be freely

know how to satisfy their customers. even after becoming a "big"
