You can't expect doepfer to just 'give-away' all their schematics!
Analog synth building (especially modular) is a tough business, many
companies with similar products, and it's not exactly a big market.
I think that only letting customers buy it is common sense, you can't
have a.systems ordering a copy and have all their schematics, can you

Would you expect KFC to give McDonalds their 'secret' recipe :-D

You definately can't expect a free copy of the printed version, far
too much time & money having someone type and design it and then pay a
company to print it, as well as the manual!

I agree we should have a diy section on doepfer website that shows us
hidden secrets and gives us the 'choice' to attack our modules with
soldering irons.
