Wow, wow, wow, this one could be an endless thread ;-)

And I have to say that some of your points - while valid - would demand a complete revamp of the architecture. Some of them, however, are quite valid:

> *stopping sequencer to implement swing quantize

...and transposition...

> *not being able to set a pitch range for individual drum samples from a kit

...even Yamaha CS1x can do it (thru SysEx, but still)

> *beats mode and arps occasionally crashing

Luckily never experienced it.

> *inability to set different pattern lengths on different tracks

Oh, I would LOVE it. However... has anyone tried tricks like xmixing tracks from patterns of different lenghts? Or even better - xmixing tracks from patterns with different time signatures?

But my question stays open, so maybe another hint: have you found another synth with capabilities similaror equally powerful to modulation processors?
