Hehe...

You be carefull, we are just messing about here with fundamentals, and
Tim has in his darkest cellar come up with a prototype for a Moog

That was a good one! ;O)

Yes, I'm too into that kind of stuff. Good working programs for disc

PS. Time to dig around my pages at (http://home.swipnet.se/cfmd/) to
find Oberheim and Buchla stuff among other things. Jürgen is insanely
