There is nothing wrong at all - when I read your annoucement, I checked out
the website of WaveIdea, downloaded the pdf manual for the Bitstream 3x and
found it to be a very interesting versatile MIDI controller (and the PDF also
looks quite complete to me). I might have thought about ordering one, but
"unfortunately" I already have a Doepfer Pocket Dial for a while that at
least covers the "dials" section.

I believe one real problem is that most developers have too much projects
they are working on and too little time for supporting other projects.

I have no problem in understanding you - your english is fine.
