That's a nice population! I'd say the software base will be expanding
rapidly.

I think I've got a pre-production unit. If there are any functional
differences between these and the production units, please let me (or
the list) know. Anything that would make software behave differently,
for example. Thanks.

Anyone who has built anything can (sort of) understand your troubles.
A minor problem here, a completely different problem there...
compounded by dozens of modules, well, I shudder to think of the
workload. Heck, my little Ray Wilson Sound Lab synth has 3 little
bugs, and I've avoided fixing it for months; good thing that I don't
have a paying customer waiting for it!

3 words for you: Design for manufacturing. :-) Easier said than done,
surely.

And you, too!
