one interesting note is mention of  a new motorized regelwork for 
future release.

For the sake of god... Dieter, please do not spend time on this. To me this
sounds like repainting a bicycle with flat tires. Sure it makes it a bit
nicer but still it is a bumpy ride until you fix the flat. All analogies
intented with all lines of xxxwerk machines.

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.

Exactly... the problem with the usablitity of the unit is more a question of
software, memory and such than new hardware. These oversights pop up just
about everywhere you look, there are tons of buttons which is a good thing,
but without functionality to motivate them all. If there is one piece of
hardware that could be updated it would be the LCD which is on the smallish
side.
