Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Modular Synth Panels

From Larry:
"I do have 4 each of all the panels you want. However, my step
grandson has terminal brain cancer and his make-a-wish project was to
build grand-dad some new modules for Christmas. So, I cannot part
with any of them."

Larry,

A "make-a-wish" project? Sounds more like taking advantage of a sick
and dying child! You evil man you -

Ho, Ho, Ho -

But you redeem yourself with the mere idea of checking further into
the anodized 'aluminiumiumium' (thats how my wife pronounces it -
really)
etched panels...I just need the time to do the same myself.

Yet I am glad to see that my initial request has resulted in the
happy and hopefully fruitful meeting of others with other CGS panel
needs, etc...always willing to help here - lol

Does anyone here think that Ken might benefit if he offered his own
panels? I realize he has his own considerations, etc - and it just
may be completely unfeasible for him - but he really seems to be
having a fair amount of success in this DIY world with his, what I
consider, unique designs and ideas...ok, this is just a nudge towards
that direction perhaps, but I still am really interested and curious
about what and why certain players in this arena, only do certain
things in an almost religious manner? I don't believe that money is
the only answer here....

I do not mean to start some strange thread here on 'supply and
demand' - I just am truly curious about these things...but if this
DIY thing keeps getting bigger as it seems to (and the world doesn't
end too soon) ...well then...Roland, Korg, and Yamaha, will get in
the game than -eh? And then it won't be DIY anymore...

Oh well - just some thoughts.

I just got back from Christmas shopping with my 'power shopping' wife
and am more exhausted than if I climbed Mt. Everest

A-duh
