Cgs synth

Hey Larry!

Now I'm less confused--thanks again. BTW, I really enjoyed
having a look at your site--boy, things sure would be easier if I
decided to go the MOTM-route....

Here is a link to Larry's site (though I'm sure most of you have
seen it already)--very well-done and helpful to DIY'ers.

Cheers,
Bob
