hey Chris,
good point! There are no vactrols in any Serge function blocks... So, I guess its never gonna be a replacement for a real LPG. So many manufacturers have made them now, I bet there 4 or more different flavors of that module floating around the net at the moment!!
And PCB's too! you could buy the buchla clone PCB and build it yourself, if you go this route use banana jacks for interfacing with your Serge!
later,
