OK, thank you.

Oh - you are talking about the Formant Pro by H.-J. Helm? I´ve tried 
that one, but it is so full of errors and mistakes, that I dropped 
it. Have some of the modules in working order in my large modular, 
though.

All the PCBs, front panels and parts are to an original Elektor 
Formant of the 1970s.

Best of luck. There are a few sites dealing with corrections of the Helm book.
