Re: [elektron] The sidstation is fucking weak -- a detailed explanation.

Hi,

First of all, let me tell you that with this attitude, you would only 
end up in my trash bin if I were a SID developer. I suggest you change 
your style.

Suggestion: NEVER buy equipment that doesn't do what you want it to do 
now!  Too often, you'll be disappointed. Many companies don't live up to 
the expectations or sometimes it takes a huge time before the feature is 
implemented.

As for Elektron, I don't think they ever promised "faster register 
updates", so you can't blame them.

Saying that the SID is a "complete piece of crap" is not corect imo. I'm 
using it in every production and it's my favourite synth... even if it 
has the limitations you mention. I have some other wishes: I'd like to 
have better patch management: I'd like patches to have patch locations 
so we can more effectively manage patches with Sounddiver e.g..
Another wish: in the DC menu's I'd like to see a "0"-menu to jump from 
one DC to the other.

Bye,
Joeri
