Sure you're qualified to help define new Midi/CV interfaces! Everyone on
this list is qualified!!! It's all of you that offer suggestions for
improvements or new features that drive the process. "We" filter them and
make them into a manageable set of features, but you're definately part of
the process.

I have a list of things to do on the Expressionist which will make it an
even better product. Some of them were thought up by me, and others by
current customers. (Yes Dave, I know you're still waiting!) :)

Unfortunately, these little companies of ours don't always have the benefit
of multiple engineers, so it's very difficult to multitask old product
support with new product development. That is why the JP8MK and
Expressionist updates have been basically shelved. I started work on a set
of Expressionist features several months ago and I can tell you it's going
to be even cooler with more LFO and waveshapes and more fun stuff. (One guy
has some of this update already)

Keep the suggestions coming. You might see your feature in there. Do it with
all manufacturers. They do listen. I was complaining to Tivo about some
feature that was missing and they added it last year. I'm sure it wasn't
because I was the only one complaining, but I participated in a group that
was vocal enough for them to consider the possibility.
