hello ringmod,
ok, maybe you're right. i would have to try the system
first in order to be fair. btw, the whole patch recall
systems really impresses me! if i had that amount of
money, i'd, maybe, buy a buchla 200e modular system!
but first, i'd buy many doepfer a101-2 lowpass gates
and a101-3 modular phasers and doepfer 259 complex
vco's, (when they will be released, as i hope).
bakis.
