Congratulations! You're a synth builder. Feels pretty good huh?
I would love to see pictures...;-)

BTW maxx3 pix should be coming soon. It'll be fun to see the
differences. There must be a bunch a stuff about ready from the
CAM1 distribution maybe we'll see lot's of pictures from
everybody....I would be a happy guy!

>  - Two env2b envelope gens from Tom
