I'm not quite certain what you are referring to.  I have to deduce you are
talking about my dislike of the synthrestore 80017 clone.  MY complaint is
their instructions say to retune all your original 80017's to match their
replacement, whereas D'Naab's clone you just have to realign that particular
voice to match your existing 80017's as it should be.  I suppose either way
works, however I think you get closer to original sound by not having to
adjust Everything Else to match the new part...
