Doepfer

Oops!  I misread Doepfer's statement.  You're right.  Breezing through,
I thought he'd said they searched extensively, when he was in fact
saying the opposite.  In the context of what I thought he'd said, your
concerns surprised me.  Sorry 'bout that.

I hope this is an issue that Doepfer will in fact address more fully.  I
guess personally though I wouldn't hinge my plans for 4 rows of modules
on the meter issue if there seemed to be a homebrew solution to meters
not too far out of reach, but that's me.  I hope Doepfer will come
through on this one.
