200e

In my opinion the 259e is a very good complement to the 261e. I think it will
be missed.

The 259e sure can be harshly digital sounding but it can be very sweet too,
it a way the 261e can't. A wavetable editing feature would make it even more
attractive. The audio rate FM quality could perhaps be increased with better
AD conversion and/or internal processor.

259eb ?
