In fact it never shocked me, but as I'm a graphic designer I should be
ashamed. (no dischromatopsy in the family)

It's just the easier way to understand it. Else it's wavetables arranged in
"frames"Š one step higher than PPG

Other brothers are vector synths (Prophet VS, Wavestation) but it also
different.

Wavetables in violet, how cute :)

> The Fizmo is unique. Try doing sounds like it can on a PPG.

PPG: Wavetables in blue

Me want modular PPG :) (no wavetables but in black)
(me want tooooooo many things)

I had forgotten about this one :)))
Almost as irresistible as the moving supply of Arp 2600 (What a name
dropper)

You're having what? Whites rabbits? Booze? instant Forbidden Planet?
problems?
