Re: [Doepfer_a100] Without Rotary Knobs

P.S.: Florian, I had never heard the expression “brutto brutto”, I find it is lovely, please tell me, is it usual in Germany or what..?

Lets say 10 Minutes per module. With the average brutto brutto price for the workers time (not the workers income, but what a producer has to take in account all in all): this makes 12 to 15 Euros. So if you are willing to pay 8,50 more...
