Really, if you come to think of it, for a custom made modular I don't think that picking up a color should be a great problem - not too many colors as that will be umltimately kitsch. But I suppose black and maybe red or blue will be fine. So if you order a black panel will there

Yes, it's a fantastic & frightening set of music. And the movie isn't bad either. you might want to check out David Kristian's "Cricklewood" CD that was done as a tribute to the soundtrack. I don't think it's in the same league as the soundtrack but still an interesting release.

The Blacet stuff (in general) has no LEDs (There are exceptions but mostly there aren't a lot of them on the system). Having LEDs on the system seems to really pull the juice. That said though, I think that the VCOs pull a lot of current and they don't have any LEDs on them. ---
