I agree. This really would be nice. I just finished putting 
together my first song on the machinedrum, and I very much 
would have liked to have this feature. It's not such a big 
deal in the studio cause you can record the parameters for 
one instrument at a time, but I believe that the 
machinedrum has the potential to be on of the greatest live 
electronic instruments / sequencers around, and this 
modification would give it a lot of strength. 
   Being able to jam out on all the pots in real time is 
just about the only advantage I can think of that the 909 
has over the machinedrum.
