Re: [The_Cyndustries_List] A Smashing Success!

hello cynthia,

just a short thing which caught my attention.
when looking at the eurorack format, i count 20 jacks.
on all the other formats there are 22 jacks.
the preliminary manual says that there are two 
dynamic fm inputs, but the eurorack panel only has one.
also the manual says that there are a few differences
between the formats, things like ac/dc coupling and so on.
please, can you explain? i'm asking because i'm still not
sure which format to buy, eurorack or fracrack.

many thanks :-)

best wishes

ingo
