Don't worry, Terry. This sounds a lot like a well known story about
Joe Zawinul: After he got his first ARP 2600 he evidently took the
output directly from the VCF rather than after the VCA. He called
up ARP product specialist Roger Powell and said "the sound is
fantastic. Now how do I make it stop "

We all know that Mr. Zawinul went on to make some pretty durn good
music with that ARP.
