Doepfer

hello david,

today i'll get my serge vcs module, so i can write more
about that tomorrow. it's a bit sad that the mounting holes are
not doepfer-conform. how big are the gaps on your module?

there will be other serge reincarnations from bananalogue
in the future. i promised to keep my mouth shut about
the next module until the official announcement.
seth will keep us updated.

best wishes

ingo
