Really, I'm not worried, about parts that is. As long as I can get my grubby 
hands on some transistors, any transistors, I'm gonna build stuff. Actually, 
this is the reason I am honing my understanding of discreet tranny circuits 
- if you couldn't tell (see my earlier posts).

ummm, you have to help me here Harry... Full Combat ...????  Damn the 
senility!

I didn't mean to piss in anybody's soup, I just listened to way too much 
apocalyptic industrial music in my time. Thanks to competition among the 
various module makers I believe we are seeing more and more innovative and 
original design work from them lately. Check out EAR's motto about "pre-bent 
circuits", it's a perfect example. It's almost Darwinian how the influx of 
new synth companies has forced innovation. Look at how boring the MOTM 
lineup was a few years back (no offense Paul). This, I believe, is quite in 
the spirit of DIY. For us hard core non-consumers we have all kinds of new 
things to figure out and reverse engineer - thanks to the module makers. I 
really do think they are not only supportive of DIY but, they are also 
inspirational. Personally I miss the PAIA type that publish their schematics 
but really that just takes the challenge out of it. Although, those 
schematics are educational for dopes like me ;-)
Any chance EAR will publish a schemo or 2???
