	Subject: [analogue_systems] French Connection again!
	
	



	Hello. I'm one of those people that has slowly got obsessed
about the
	Martenot since I 1st saw one in action and has allways dreamed
of
	owning one. Now I'm also in a band and seeing Jonny Greenwood
with his
	French Connection has made me realise if I keep working my arse
off I
	might still be able to get one. The main controller costs £1200
which
	is a hell of a lot for just a controller, so I was wondering if
anyone
	here knew anything about how I could create the sine wave
without
	using a massive RS Integrator. Now the French Connection uses CV
which
	rules out most keyboards and there's no hope in hell I could
carry an
	Integrator around let alone afford one. Do Analogue Systems sell
a
	module that can re-create the sort of sound and feel? The French
	Connection seems to have 2 CV outputs so would you need 2
seperate
	LFOs to create the sounds or do they have a module that does all
that?
	
	Also has anyone bought a French Connection off Analogue Systems?
Do
	you have to order them then they build it for you? Is there a
returns
	policy as a result? Basically what is the deal? I really
seriously am
	in love with the instrument but how can I test one, as I might
end up
	with a system which doesn't work properly and I can't return? If
you
	email them do they help you with such matters? Their web page
seems
	really basic and pretty much doesn't tell you anything about how
they
	work and the only contact is an enquiries email address and a
phone
	number.
	
	If anyone can help me please email me at el_heath@hotmail.com,
any
	advice welcome. Thank you.
