24bit resoloution.

nope, found a way around that too :-)

Thats the problem, it would add a significant cost to a modular, and I feel
part of the reason people love them is because they're cheap.. I don't mean
in total, but to 'build' you usually buy one or two modules at a time (you
might start by buying 10 or so), so the 'apparant' cost is much lower. Like
buying CDs.
A while back I counted my CDs, I scared the living hell out of myself when I
got to over 1000 and still more to count. add them up, at an average of £10
a go..

> Yeah, but just think of the stage presence. :-)

yeah, there'd be no-where for anyone else to be :-)
