SK asked if the serge panels had CE markings...well, I closely examined my 1997 panel, and ps6 power supply, and there are none. Briefly, every utensil sold in the european community is supposed to have this little "CE" stamp on them, to show its up to certain standards. Obviousl

Anything with more than one oscillator is polyphonic. :-) I tuned four PCOs to the just intonated chords, controlled from a 4x8 sequencer. These four oscillators were mixed, then sent through the same filters and ring modulator. I had another two PCOs tuned from two rows of a TKB
