Have you seen the new Modcan Boolean Logic module?It looks very similar to the STS design... even down to the 2 inverter

of the module...
let me clarify my thoughts here, which are pretty much in line with peters:
*basing* your designs on deleted or discontinued or otherwise unavailable designs
is pretty much the nature of the musical instrument industry and i don't have any
problem with that process, morally, legally, aethestically, etc. i was impressed by
the effort put out on the new minis, and b/c bob let the trademarks lapse, i couldn't find much issue with the reissues even using the name (i am an attorney, btw).what i see over at modcan is something different entirely: its effectively a rebadging
of the serge fascia. modcan took the serge Env graphic, slightly (and i mean ever so
slightly) altered it, and claims its a "modcan" module. same with the boolean logic module.
now, i see that they openly claim some designs are moog, ms50, etc. thats great. why aren't the
boolean and env modules credited to serge?this is not good. i'm curious whether the insides are the same, too.
