as-is, monophonic. Please. I first saw this at NAMM in Jan. 2006 - Dieter, I am the fellow that bugged you for long periods of time at that NAMM and used to work for the US EMS distributor (EMSA) in the late 70s. I really, really want this. And I never expected it to be anything but monophonic. Thanks, Keep up the great work, my wall of modular continues to grow and Doepfer occupies most of it. -----Original Message-----
