I agree. One of the best discussions of DCOs in the archives came  
about as the result of Fredrik Carlqvist's work, which he eventually  
turned into the Minod Vorga. It's "DIY" if you do-it-yourself, and he  
clearly did.

Some of my questions have related to work I've done on digital  
envelopes which has subsequently turned up in Modcan modules. Like  
Julian, I'd have to add a disclaimer to all my own questions to the  
effect that I'd love to produce a commercial synthesizer if I thought  
I had a gnat's chance in hell against the likes of Roland and Yamaha,  
and anything I learn here might make that marginally more likely.
