like someone said, do it with your cc's in a sequencer,  i think your
requests are somewhat do-able with a bit a tweaking in an external
sequencer....none of them inerest me, i dont say it to slag you off, it just
seems as though everyone on this list uses their MD in very different setups
and wants different features implemented, and with limited time and manpower
to update and improve the OS, its important to tell them what we dont want
as well as what we do, As an example the one hand prgram change in the new
os is worse than the old way, for me, though im sure it was added cause
someone requested it, and for some, maybe even most, it's great, but I wish
these were global options, so we could choose.....my largest request is
still a 24 cc midi machine....i like your idea of other waveformss though,
and let me push the idea farthr...seeing as there are empty parameters in
the gnd sounds, why not make the waves multiple oscillators?
