I think the A100 needs one High-Quality VCO-Module, but there is no need 
for a copy of Buchla.

I know that Dieter Doepfer is a very responsible entrepreneur, who 
really cares for his employees. This is definitely not easy in such a 
small market as for analogue modular systems. So he knows, that only 
keeping this small market peaceful, without harming competitors, keeps 
his own business reliable.
