Actually, the more I think about it, the less I see your point!
Adding a global switch like that does not really complicate things at all. 
It does however give Electron a chance to fix some things that NEED fixing, 
like the awful distortion, and the less than usable SRR.
Since this will be our last update, this is important! Sure, some wont want 
their kits to change, but at the cost of the rest of us having a less 
'perfect' machine than I think Elektron can make, and than we as customers 
deserve.
I bought one of the first 200 MDs, and the implementation of distortion and 
SRR are the things that have most annoyed me. I would even pay a cash fee 
(100 euros maybe?) for the OS that fixes them (with maybe a couple more 
machines... GNDs and 909 hats maybe?).
Or perhaps I have to wait for a new one to be designed and built...? Much as 
we all like the latest thing, I bought the MD as the only 4/4 based drum 
machine I would ever need. It has mostly filled that role. Improve the eq, 
distortion and SRR, and for me it will be.

just a few happy thoughts =0)
