Hi Scott,

I have some pictures of a previous configuration, but I re-wired it this past
week to make it less of a jungle.  I wasn't very successful in reducing the
cluster-F factor, but the grounding/power distribution is better (relatively
speaking).  I'll have my brother come over tonight with his digital camera and
snap some pics, then I'll send them to you.

If this is some kind of record, I better document it!  It really is truly ugly.
Remember that post a while back with the link to the guy who had PCB's on canvas
for a 'roll-up' type of synth?  My setup makes that one look like a Moog Voyager.
Maybe I should call it the Coyote Synth =0).  It's the only functional synth I
know of that requires a wrist strap.

Take care,
Scott S.
