I have this vision of duplicating the Korg Polysix's voltage-controlled
effects board as a MOTM. It would be a fierce one for kit-builders,
though--something like building 5 '300s. The Korg board has a ∗crapload∗
of parts on it, and to make it authentic I would have to use a few parts
that would strike fear into Paul's heart... <mumble>LM324<mumble>

And I don't even know if I can get Panasonic MN3004s these days.
