Hi, list!

After a long absence from the list(due to flaming and spamming from other
lists) I just can't stop myself from writing a few lines about DIY.

I have always been keen on having a closer look at the stuff that make up
synths, but always felt intimidated by having to build it from scratch
including housing powersupply and all. I would love to have a kit for some
basic modules from Doepfer cause I would know that they will fit if I build
right. So I say, go, go go! Make a kit for a filter, basic ADSR and VCA.
Deduct the building cost and put it in the pricelist, but by all means do
make a good assembly manual(think of us electro-morons;).

The advantages of DIY is threefold.
-it makes stuff cheaper and attracts more customers with not so deep
pockets.
-it educates the users the basics which could help them do some
basic-repairs. Finding out skilled repairshops are difficult for many of us
and that adds to the bad rep of analogue "The break down, and they stay
broken cause nobody can fix them".
-a deeper knowledge about stuff adds attachement. Users will feel a closer
bond with Doepfer and their gear and that will in the end attracts more
users.

As Bakis always writes "PLEASE, do this..." =)
