Agreed. I expect to get one.
I think most of the things I'd want have already been touched on. I'm glad
to hear it has a clock output option.
I do think it might be useful to have a pitch bend output and be able to
turn the bend effect on the cv down to 0, just to have a controller on the
keyboard that's seperate from pitch some times. But its not a big deal.
For the aux outputs, will it be possible to get all the aux controllers from
one channel, and cv/gate/velocity from four channels? Or one "lead" channel
you get all the controllers from and three secondary channels that are just
cv/gate/velocity.
Would it be possible to make the velocity outputs just another set of aux
outputs, and be able to choose velocity or something else?
