Elektron Musical Instruments

I was thinking today how nice it would be if there was 
a bank of function keys where you could store different 
data for immediate call up. It could be data such as mute 
settings or effects settings. One could perhaps press 
function+drumpad to recall the settings.  This would well 
increase the sophistication of the sequencer for use in 
live performances.
    A parallel idea would to be to have a kind of function 
machine that could be programmed into the step sequencer 
like any other machine. Each time it's triggered it would 
change some set of parameters. It could perhaps even have a 
duration so that you could modulate paramaters for a couple 
beats or bars.

on another note,  I tested out my MD for the phantom noise 
on the auxilliary outputs.  Yes, it is there but it is 
hardly noticeable, and in no way does it decrease the 
utility of the instrument IMO.
