hello all,

i totally agree with dieter regarding the 4096 stages version.
if you want this version, you should better wait until the
third series of modules is ready. looking at the 4096 stages
prototype, there are really a lot of modifications on the pcb.

during the easter weekend i'll record some examples
with the 4096 stages prototype. stay tuned...

best wishes
