Doepfer

It's interesting, because the User's Manual for the current 
Regelwerk discusses the concept of motorized faders, and then 
dismisses the concept as being too expensive to implement.

Instead, the user has to manually move a fader until a blinking LED 
stops blinking, indicating that the fader has reached the current 
value of the corresponding parameter.

I wonder what prompted the change of heart? Perhaps there's a lot of 
interest in the new Mephisto synth, which will have motorized knobs 
for the same reason.

I've been trying to use the Regelwerk as a Matrix 1000 programmer 
(not very successfully), so the problem with the idea, aside from the 
expense, is that it won't work for me unless the software is updated 
to allow remote sysex parameters to be "catch"ed in this way, rather 
than just midi continuous controller values.
