Hi Larry, everybody,

I like VCEGs a lot. And, as in a previous post from Gur implied, the more, VC
the better. You probably have noticed on the piano, that the lowest keys give
a very long release time, while the highest give an extremely short release
time. This phenomenon seems quite common across many different musical
instruments. To mimic this is quite easy given a VC release time.  And given
that, by reversing this effect (short release on low notes, long on high) may
give a very un-natural sound which may also be quite unusual and interesting.
Of course that's just one example of why I like them.

Glad I bought a bunch of CEM 3310s from Paul before they disappeared!
