I do plan to head this way after I get the initial system established.

Hmmm, this was on my list for phase II, but perhaps I should consider 
moving it up the chain  :-)

I'll certainly investigate these.  Thanks for the advice.

Glad you brought up the subject of build quality...I don't intend to 
take my A100 out live very often.  Do you think I should be ok in 
this respect?  Ive heard some things regarding the A100 build quality 
I've never personally had a bad experience any of the other Doepfer 
gear I own.

Does that mean it's discontinued or Dieter doesn't support it any 
longer?  It always seemed to be a great piece of gear for hands-on 
sequencing.

This might be very good advice.  I'll investigate this as well.  But 
you must admit the Shaltwerk does have lots of pretty lights!  :-P

Kindest regards,
