200e

Kai,

hey, thanks for the input--definitely valuable as I want to get 4 very
small footprint spkrs for some low-key performance situations. meanwhile, I
was donated a solid harmon-kardon amp and sony speakers along with a pair
of yamaha NS 10's (common reference spkrs) so at home I am all set up with
4 channels and sounds plenty decent enough.

But on to your imminent acquisition of a 200e -- AWESOME! They really are
the bomb--do AMAZING things! So, whatcha getting? I have a 12-cabinet, got
11 panels full and just waiting for this ZOe module from Cyndustries. I
have no preset or MIDI modules--I just use the traditional capability, but
I feel I get more modulation bang for my buck this way!

I'm in Ontario (Canada) by the way -- hoping to connect with some other
users at some point, also might be in to trades/ buy and sell. I'm not
convinced the Dual Arbitary Function Generator (250e - ?) is for me (tho' I
barely know how to use it yet!)

Guess that's senough of that -- but btw I am not actually in the Buchla
group right now, there was some glitch w/ email and I am having to
re-join....

Thanks again for the mssge Kai--feel free to keep me posted on yr machine,
I'm very interested!
