That's why I would like elektron to deal with the "exception of 
polyphony" in the monomachine.  6 polyphonic midi tracks and 6 
fantastic elektron mono-tracks would be a powerhouse that would 
entertain me for the 2+ years it would take to develop a dream 
sequencer.

Here's how they could handle MnM midi polyphony:  
They already let you scroll through notes recorded in a chord, so if 
they tie an individual note length parameter (in fractional form, 
_please_) to each note in a chord, that's about it.  If you have two 
notes start on the same step, you can scroll through them.  If you 
have notes layered on top of eachother, you can edit each of them on 
their corresponding starting step.  This wouldn't require a graphical 
representation - it would work very well with the existing LED's.  
You could even use the tri-color LED's to show how many notes 
underlie each note - 0=red, 1=yellow, 2+=green.
