Doepfer

Cool, hope you enjoy it. 
I'm over in Australia and never get to try modules before buying, so 
generally find that I have to take a leap of faith. So far all 
modules I've bought have been useful/enjoyable in one way or 
another. The more modules I get, the more uses I find for my older 
modules. :0)
