The prototype uses processors that are difficult to update code over MIDI. Also, 
after the '650,
I am 'retiring' work on using 8-bit processors and moving to 32-bit ARM 
processors. The cost has
dropped over the last 3 years so that a 32-bit processor, running at 60Mhz with 
128K of Flash is <$6.
The processors have 8 times the internal RAM memory (used for storage of flags, 
parameters, etc)
of 8051 type processors which makes the code *much easier* to write.

What I plan to do is redesign *just* the CPU card in the sequencer and have the 
code rewritten.
I already have front panel and the pc board with the 2 rows of switches (and 
these switches are REALLY
nice but $$$$). I even have the displays, high $$$ Grayhill optical encoder, 
custom knobs, and bezels. I will have
 the CPU card ready June 1st to give to the SW folks.

If anyone wants to investigate the CPU I'm using, here is a link:
