Oh, I disagree.  Just because something causes a reaction doesn't 
mean it has merit.  Poison ivy causes a reaction.  

Now, I'm not saying this is the case with Wiard.  It's actually part 
of the art argument, and I can't go there, alas,lest we stray too far 
off topic.

>Now, I have been curious about something...if you were to design a
synth, panel and electronics, how would you do it? How would you blend
your love for art with your love for electronics? Grant obviously has
an interpretation, and I would love to hear about your view.<

I'll do more than that; I'll show you.  If you go to the Photos 
section, and click on the Mitchell folder, you will find a picture of 
a vocoder I built in 1980. Although there are things I'd change 
today, it will give you some idea of where I'm coming from.  This 
folder and picture will be removed in a day or two to make room for 
Wiard-related stuff.  So have at it, lads!
