Ugh, this is from 1980! Now I understand why JH was so angry. Obviously
they took the trimpot string from Tuenker, since they ripped off the
whole text of the first page (Plastik_Sound_1.jpg) verbatim from
Tuenker's Synthesizer book, without referencing! :-((

I hope nobody got me wrong, I didn't want to say anything against
Helmuth Tuenker. He was a pioneer regarding DIY in Germany, his "Sound
Organ" was from 1973, no ICs, all transistor (most of then Germanium),
even the frequency dividers! This was my first "big" DIY instrument. Did
the Korg patent even exist back then?
