the doepfer is unusual because its a single unit and the others are all dual or quad. I wonder if that is a problem, also I wonder how essential a gate delay, or dual gate delay is for ths kind of sound - I have an AS single gate delay at the moment

OK, except the Doepfer one already mentioned. Sorry, shot too quick on
that one... I spend a lot more time on the SDIY forums and lists than
here, so making it yourself is always my first response ;-)

The Doepfer one seems like it should do what the Buchla ones did, but of
course Buchla sprinkled a lot of extra magic in his designs...

best,
D.
