"Is this all there is to it?" One planned possibility is an option to connect the synth's controls to some external control source, such as an analogue joystick, plugged into the machine`s joystick port, or the pitch/mod wheels of a MIDI keyboard. The synth controls will also be accessible while looping some sequence, while the sequence itself will have the ability of being transposed from the keyboard as well as being re-triggered on the fly by a key press. Eventually, and hopefully, all this should be possible even while replaying some previously recorded tracks. However, to begin with, DelfDCS will be able to record your sonic creations directly to hard drive, as mono or stereo audio tracks. Just as if you were playing one of those original (mono) hardware synths.

There is one more rather interesting addition that I thought should be included: a multi mode keyboard operation (available only from the qwerty keyboard, unless some MIDI synth supports it), where we can select between either the Arab Tone System, the strangely named "solfeggio mode" (see also wikipaedia`s entry), and the officially accepted "equally tempered scale". Each mode will generate its own natural and highly individual frequencies from the keyboard input, adding entirely new ways of expression/experience to an already versatile instrument.
