Hi,
Some thoughts on Dieter's thoughts:

1. Is someone perhaps in the position to ask what Buchla himself
thinks on such issues
(I mean Bob Moog is still making filters, isn't he , and the "Moog-
type filters" are quite abundant in this world)

2. With the risk of becoming an outcast on this list:
If it were implemented as an A-111 extension, would Dieter be less
reluctant
(I voted for the original, but the situation seems to have shifted
now)

One way or another, I think the A-100's versatility would benefit
from a new VCO type

About the BBDs: just great news !!

just my thoughts, regards
Joost
