I think that partnering up with Bridechambers and making it known on
this forum would work very well. I know that at various times I am
pressed for time and would like to keep up. I hit BC and Synthpanels
to see what is up with the things I am going to use , to build or have
built. It is production oriented so things move on rather than getting
caught up in exogenous nonsense.
Your mannerly approach to Buchla is wonderful. That is the sort of
thing that people like EMS really appreciate. (more personally)
Quad, dual, don't care, I am down for a few.
