200e

Cheers Chris

I thought about the 225e but I dont care if I cant save patches. So I 
didn't bother with it.

I already have about 9 Plan B , Livewire ,Doepfer modules still to get 
so I think , prey this Buchla purchase will not grow, I have been happy 
with my 4 panel Serge, but i guess I use all the euro modules to play 
with the Serge..

Also Will I be able to patch the Serge an the 200e, or will they be 
different voltage issues?

Appreciate the help

Ross
