Hi Florian,

  no offence taken, and certainly none meant.  I was just giving a

  I'll look into the synth diy list.  I'd also like to congradulate 
Doepfer who have responded to this thread by adding more information 
to the DIY site. Power to the people ; )

  I guess I just have the enthusiasm of the recently converted.

Stuadh (enjoying frank exchange of views)
