Yes, we all do it to some extent. No need to completely
reinvent the wheel and there is always the possibility two
or more people can come to the same conclusion at the
same time. Great minds do think alike.....a lot! Jurgen
hasn't commented, maybe he gave his permission. I
doubt that though, and that makes this a rather obvious
rip-off. That's the price we pay for sharing. Hopefully it's
not so high we stop like a lot of people have done. If you
are going to have an attack when someone uses your
idea, you should keep it to yourself. We will miss you.
If you are going to use something of someone's, please
give them credit. It's the only polite thing to do.
You may not have noticed but Jurgen has been very
vague on new stuff coming from Haible manor. Do
you think he caught on to the fact that we all use his
stuff? I know he's doing something cool, I just hope to
see it. Gotta be something I can use in there
somewhere.

soon to appear on the pages at efm.
......at least I think it's Doepfer stuff??? Says Doepfer
on it but who knows where he got it?
Tom/Dr/All,
whenever we publish circuits/programs on the net ideas
are BOUND to be poached by some companies, saves them
a fortune on R&D... What would be interesting is to see the
schematic, and just HOW close it is to Jurgens... think about it
if he's nicked the concept thats almost acceptable (you all pinch
moog filters/arp/filters/vco's/etc) if he's nicked the whole circuit
then there is a copyright issue, either that or a potential job
for JH :-)
Im not condoning 'pinching' ideas, but face it we all do it
and so do all the big companies..
Paul (who has pinched wavetable stuff/moogstuff/penfold/etc)
