Elektron Musical Instruments

From what I have gathered in my communications with Electron, they have just 
about squeezed all they can from the DSP. In other words, we can all wish as 
much as we like, but we are unlikely to see much in the way of new features 
apart from a new machine or two. I am sure we could all come up with our own 
'must have' 'just one more' features, but you would get the same from anyone 
who has ever owned a Mini Moog for instance, but who would dare say it was 
not a completed instrument?
My point here is that there is a tendancy to want more and more which leads 
to dissatisfaction, when we should perhaps be happy with what we have. I say 
this because this has been a major source of dissatisfaction for me with 
many bits of kit for years, and I have recently been rethinking the whole 
thing, and I am much happier (I waited for two years for the promised MIDI 
out module on my Nord Modular, but now I know it's not coming I feel so let 
down... silly!).

just my 2 cents worth - not a critisism of anyone, more a pointer for a 
happier life =0)
