WG: My evil modular plans

[Haible Juergen]

Impossible.

Well, sure you can build *something* that way (and it may even be 
interesting), but it would
not deserve to be called "Moog Modular" anymore.
Didn't you say something about "original parts" ?
What do you want to replace with EEPOTs ? The trimmers? The front 
panel potentiometers?
What was their resolution again ??
Ceramic caps? For the VCO's?
I don't remember at the moment if the 35 also included a sequencer or 
a fixed filter bank.
Remember these inductors ?
Patch matrix ???? (How many ins' and out's on a 35 ? )

And: What percentage of a moog system (in terms of cost as well as 
"feeling" and human
interface) is made by the mere electronic components?
5% ? maybe 20% ?? Surely not more.

You'd better take a Moog system and stuff a computer into it, than
the other way round!

Just a few thoughts - please don't feel offended!
