Oops! A Correction (Re: vocoders)

[Kirke Sonnichsen]

You're right! I confused the number of circut boards (14) with
the number of channels (10). I pulled those issuses to check my
memory on the Felix Visser-as-designer as well. From the article
it only mentions that "Some very profitable discussions with
these specialists (Synton) led to the circut here". So, it looks
like I was wrong about that too. But somewhere I remeber having
a small (3" x 5") promotional Elektor pamphlet featuring mini 
articles about recent projects in the magazine. That's where I
first heard about the vocoder. I'm still looking for it...

Thank god I'm not running for President!
