That reminds me- I've got a Regelwerk that I really should sell- and yes, 
grooveless it is!


what do you want for the regelwerk?  is it red and green (led's) or blue.

you can make it groove a little if you do two rows with the same midi channel, 
offset and shift the second row and do some velocity variances on certain 
steps.  it will sound like like shuffle.

not sure what you mean since the tb-303 only has cv/gate outputs. 

I will let you guys know my experience with the A5000 this next weekend as I am 
waiting for this thing to arrive.  I am almost 100% confident that the engine 
sounds thicker and mimics analog, far more than the engine in the Command 
Station. Am I the only one that thinks for certain things that it's pretty 
anemic sounding?    Flash roms would be cool for convenience and portability. 
But over all tone to me is the most important.  I've read people saying that the 
A5000 is a sound designers wet dream with it's 6 effects blocks.  And to think 
that I am gonna have it piped through a dedicated Ensoniq DP4 with it's 4 
parallel effects also.  I have a feeling it's gonna be the cat's ass.  I've read 
the endless encoders can go bad and the load times are slow.  I have a great 
tech to do the encoders and the unit has an internal hard drive already and I 
won't be using with a PC.  Just old school style.  No .wave dragging and 
dropping from a DAW.  I just want to keep it raw.
