================

speaking for myself, i'd probably never notice if there's a bug with the
sequencer; i've never used the sequencer, and don't plan on ever using it.

the battery thing... lemme know when that's fixed ;)

looking at the list of Proposed Features
<http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/id3.html> i would put my own
priority as:

1) velocity sense
2) 2 "super" LFOs
3) LFO direction invert
4) LFO to noise gate

real-time MIDI control was high on my list, but that seems to have moved
into the "completed" list. also the mono mode with portamento... i'd buy a
small upgrade (eg, $10-20 EPROM) if that was the only thing it did ;)

so, mike... next time you put this much time and effort into a synth,
maybe you'll consider doing something from scratch? along the lines of the
sid-station, maybe?
