[PD] Instrument Design Survey

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I look forward to seeing the results of this.  Maybe I am a bit  
thick, but I found some of the wording a bit vague.

First thing was this question: "Please rate the following as your  
priorities in instrument design where 0 indicates no preference and 3  
on either side indicates a strong preference"  What's the difference  
between the 3 all the way to the left and the 3 all the way to the  
right?  Oh, I get it, there is a "Vs" in there.

Also, this is a bit vague: "Please rate the importance in the  
features of a new musical instrument", is 1 more important, or 5?  I  
am guessing 5 is the most important.

Also, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Mapping  
Library for Pd, and any other mapping software you have encountered.
