   That's fine, I don't like tiny synths either.  That's why I didn't buy 
into Doepfer and Asys.  But just because I use SMT doesn't mean anything 
I've done is tiny.  Just the PCB.  You are quite welcome to look at it 
here (or not):

   Big knobs, tons of good sturdy banana jacks.  Nothing small there 
except the size of the PCB behind the panel, which would have been easily 
3 times the size shown to fit thruhole parts.

   Yes, it's quite fortunate that I'm getting _younger_ and my eyesight 
is not only improving, but I'm getting better looking too!  The only 
downside is that a decade and a few I'll be too young to drink and then 5 
years later losing my drivers license will be a serious detriment to me 
getting to and from work...

   Yawn.  You'll have to do better than that.

   Cheers,

   Tony
