Re: [The_Cyndustries_List] Is my Super Psycho LFO working properly?

2008-01-23 by Cynthia Webster

Howdy Kyle!

We sort of build things in waves or groups generally
and we've just finished a large batch of Euro format
ZOs and are now shifting over to completing a large
batch of Modcan-A Banana format Zeroscillators.
(We are completing (30) of these banana ZOs while
also shipping a handful of other formats all the time). 

The next large waves of regular production modules
from us will be:

January -  Sawtooth Animators, and Dual ADSRs
February  Modcan ZOs, Synthacons, Low Pass Gates
March      Anything Modules, UEGs, Dividers

Other modules continue to ship in small numbers.

We've been backed up on the Low Pass Gates for
ages and I'm very happy to report that the new LPG
circuit boards are quite lovely and we'll have a ton
of them along with new Mark II Synthacons shipping
this coming month.

Best Wishes!
