. From my point of view it's the wrong idea that we have to give up a
module after the announcement because another company finishes a similar
module (with or without taking the ideas from us or this group). On the
other hand we normally do not start to develop a module if there is a
similar module available on the market (whereas one could discuss the term
"similar"). But if the idea came from us or was born in this group I think
we should have the right to release this module even if another manufacturer
offers a similar module in the meantime. It's not only because of the money
that has been already invested (the development of a new module is very
expensive and these charges pay off not before the serial production begins)
but also as a matter of principle.




dieter,
i understand completely your point. i was speaking to the idea of
"efficiency" in terms of freeing up time and money for alternate developments just as
one way i was looking at the issue and using those proposed module polls as an
example, i would have said push the v.c. granular idea its being a fairly
new thing to bring to analog modulars over the v.c. delay module as being a less
radical ( ) module.
best,
dave
