Hi Roel

There is a big difference between a large Moog Modular System and a Doepfer
synth. The Bid Moogs were developed in the tradition of scientific
measurement and testing tools. An old Moog oscillator is/was nearly as
precise as an measurement oscillator from Hewlett-Packard or Rohde&Schwarz
and it costed nearly the same.

A Doepfer Modular System is developed dedicated as musical instrument and
its limitations in preecision make it affordable as a musical instrument.
We have to keep in mind, that a 6HE Rack for $1000 would cost may be $8000
if it was built like an old Moog.

So: It is not the money, Doepfer has to spend now, but the money you and me
would have to spend :-/
