Re: Synthesiser audio (musician's) feedback as important as technological brilliance? (theory)

Hey PeWe,

I think I know why Curtis chips have his rep. There is a reveiw of the 
M12/expander on a large retailers site. It trys hard to convince you 
that buying an old synth is a bad Idea, and what you should do is buy 
one of their new digital wiz-bangs. Yha Whatever man!
Sadly, Doug Curtis has passed away so I don't think there will be 
anymore of these chips available. I keep wondering how Dave Smith is  
dealing with this. Anybody Know?
