WHY? (was Re: [sdiy] ... Simulating a Moog)

I think that SDIY is the place for innovation.  I've seen some great modules and
great ideas here, that wouldn't be seem elsewhere.  This is why I'm on this
list, because I'm interested in building non-standard modules.  That said, the
VCO is still the heart of the system I'm building (not the VCF, I'm not a big
phat VCF person).  Once the core is assembled, then certainly I would like to
add all kinds of innovative modules.
