That sounds a bit cheeky in the whole scheme , of course those simple
logic chips are very easy/cheap to buy..........but , I think
stealing designs from Polyfusion , is bad enough , but several
companys (including Modcan) also rip off EMS & Serge designs -i.e.
companies that are still trading .
There are also several companies offering EMS this or Oberheim
that .I think it really sucks when done on a commercial level -
cloning seems to be so mad anyway , that if someone wants to spend
200 hours & $1000 on parts etc. to copy something , good luck to
them....but selling clones of other peeples stuff seems about as
defensible as virus spreading........Modcan effectively will strangle
Serge's ability to continue by selling obvious steals from their
designs ?
I would have much more respect if Modcan got a few more of their
own ideas . Serge , while influenced by Buchla can hardly be accused
of stealing designs . (i.m.o.)
