This is the most exciting news for a long time. Not the news I've been anticipating, but possibly even better, and a lovely surprise.

Now, to save up some monies... I might be able to afford one this time next year!
Just get rid of those Faderfoxes and you'll be part of the way there :D

We came to the conclusion that we should focus on session view, because editing in arranger is something you better do with the mouse /keyboard. But it is obvious that the session view cries out for a dedicated controller. And here it is. The commercial version of the Monodeck ;-). Plus the capability to customize what it does using MfL. We expect users to come up with the most outstanding ideas here...

Have fun!

i wish you'd said this a couple of months ago :x
