Subject: Re: [motm] Oakley panels

I'm interested in the files. I didn't like the
Schaeffer samples I saw at Tony's site without the tick
marks, it looked rather bland in contrast to the MOTM
modules. I already have the Schaeffer software.

Does Schaeffer give discounts for multiple panel
orders? Would it be useful for some of us stateside to
go with a combined order to save on panel cost and
shipping? I'm interested in the Wavefolder, a ladder
filter (haven't decided which one), and maybe a triple
LFO, but the cost of panels has been holding me back.
