Hi Dave,

Thanks for the EMu stuff! I, for one, would like to see some EMu technical
info. I used an EMu analog on the same large modular I mentioned previously,
and I did like it (although not nearly as much as my Serge Touch Keyboard
Sequencer, which I will drone on about at another time). I also believe that
the old EMu modules had some attributes which could inform future MOTM
modules.

I'd also appreciate some info on the above two digital modules which I'm not
familiar with.

Thanks!
