Re: [elektron] sound on sound

I don't know whether this is possible for them to implement, but I 
sure hope so! I may have to do something perverse like using 
sequencers an Evolver to control the Monomachine in various ways as 
its playing. And ultimately I'd like to get a Zeit, Xenotron, or 
Signal Arts sequencer to do this kind of thing on a larger scale. But 
it would be really nice to work within the confines of the 
Monomachine and Machinedrum and set this up.

In somewhat the same vein, I would love to see more flexibility in 
the scale setup. Right now, you can, say, set a pattern of 14 notes 
out of 16. But, if you set up a pattern which has 28 notes, you'll 
need to use one page of 16, and one of 12. I'd like the ability to 
show two pages of 14.
