Eventually you'll want them too :-)

While it does work the 292e is a better VCA.

I sold my Oberheim Xpander, Matrix 1000, a truckload of EMS gear for
example Synthi E, Sequencer 128, DK2, Pitch 2 voltage, etc...
Genelecs, a mixing console and many other things to get this and i
haven't regretted it for one second. Now i am thinking of selling my
Synthi A as well to expand further...
