MOTM

Paul,

I think you should make it back out to the show. If Deiter and Technosaurus 
and the rest of the 1/8" gang are going to be there I agree with Larry that 
you should too. It would help to solidify the Synthesis Technology name in 
the ever present world of competitors among small modular manufacturers and 
gain more new exposure among the industry monkeys who are going to have to 
let it sink in sooner or later. But, it is a valid point that new module or 
product would be a great help in success and hopefully mass publication and 
press.

Which modules exactly were not out last NAMM? 830 Mixer, Upcoming Dual VCA, 
? 5 months, Maybe you can crank out the Dual VCA, SEM Filter, Basic 
Sequencer and the $6000 all at once... HA! JK I hope you can make it and I 
will gladly submit my cabinet for demonstartion and fiddling by all. 
Besides, wouldn't want ol' Bob Mooger Foogen whutsit thinkin' you're out of 
the game the year his new attempt at redifining synth history is released. 
Bring out the prototypes from your bench of the gods and blown some of those 
old quality comprimising fish out of the water. I know you have something up 
your sleeve that you could "Dress to Impress" or booze to get whoo's

Thomas White
