[sdiy] unsolicited testimonial

[Scott Stites]

Hi List,

I have to second Harry's kudos to Ken for an excellent design.  I don't possess
Harry's understanding of the circuit so I haven't hacked it one iota, but in its
pristine form it is an extremely powerful module for exploring new timbres. 
IMHO, it's a stunning piece of work.  

Ken mentions on his site that it comes very close to the middle section of the
Serge Wave Multiplier.  I can see now why Serge owners swear by their synth's.

Fantastic work, Ken!


Scott
