Hi David,

You keep your cockles to yourself, thank you very much!

Yes, its quite a dense board.

The outputs of the I-V converters are not buffered, in that they feed
the internal connections that then go to the master mix section. If I
didn't have the output buffers then any connect/disconnect on the sub
outputs would be heard on the main output. They just keep the outside
world outside.
Cheers,
Neil
