Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,

I think your list of important features reflect what many users think.

As you say its always possible to add Global options for non real-time
changes, but we really try to stay away from that to keep the sound
synthesis real-time.

When changing kits some parameters are interpolated, e.g. the filter. In
the Rhythm Echo the time parameters changes with a max change rate. Others
such as the parameters for the machines are for obvious reasons changed
immediately.
