wow that looks cool, I'm sure many of us have started saving up already (I 
have!)
lets think.  more DSP than a VIRUS!!!!  holy shit..  if anyone doesn't know, 
a Virus is a very powerful machine.  Makes our SidStations look like a VW bug 
compared to a Lexus ..  So with that much Digital Signal Processing going on 
just think of the possibilities!!  I love analog, but it's great to see 
digital finally used in a forward manner, not just for analog simulation!
Big display plus Dan's saying that the best features have been kept from 
older drummachines leads me to believe that it will use the xox grid style 
programming...  
with hopefully every parameter of each drum's sound variable per step..
fx levels and settings variable per step...
perhaps a few tracks dedicated just to changing the drum voices ala the 
Quasimidi Polymorph's style sequencer...
which means multiple tracks at once...
so you'd surely be able to have different track lengths..
which would mean ever changing sounds, but measure length and rhythms would 
stay solid..
hopefully all of this would be under MIDI control...  with CV/gate interface 
somewhere, perhaps a clock pulse out for driving our analog sequencers/synths 
(I hope)

wow,
dreaming is great.
anyone else have any cool ideas???  effects send/recieve loops?  PERHAPS the 
ability to do lo-fi sampling for one or two sounds ala Casio RZ-1???  Two 
inputs remember!?!?
