yeah you would have to decouple them... (i say this like i actually know
something, but really i'm just parroting colin...) do you have any idea
what controller the virus uses, or did you just get lucky betting that the
C would have the same as the B? :)

ahh... i was just hoping to get a look at the LCD PCB and how it was
attached, to see what kind of mess i'd be getting myself into...
physically at least.

well, some of the ideas people here have about what they want their
sequencers to do are really quite perverted. :) go through the group
message index and take a look at all the crazy stuff people suggest... and
colin actually *implements* most of it! i'm taking a week's vacation as
soon as my case arrives just to be able to explore all of it...
