OK... remember seeing one cool bent SaS on Ebay. It was camouflagecoloured
and had a "speaking in tongues-switch". Liked that one... ;)

I have a friend who is messing around with an SDS-800. It should be a better
idea for someone like you since it uses Curtischips and not SSM. Curtisis
more of a "synth-on-a-chip" type so they're more easy to get something cool
from.

But sure, a box with a home built pad on top maybe? Or why not a joystick, a
simple trigger and then trig speed in vertical control and amount of voltage
in horisontal maybe?

electronically yours, jesper - almost liked that idea though I would never
dream of stripping my fully equipped SDS-V...
