hello peter,
i know and really believe that your plan B vco is a
great sounding module. but for me, here in greece,
your modules are also not an option. the custom duties
for US products, as far as i know, will be huge
(something like 50% extra!). so, your vco will cost me
more than 300 euros, not counting big shipping costs!
so, i would really prefer a european 259 vco doepfer
a100 module.
bakis.
