jurgen,
i`m not in a position to know whether you are right or wrong but on the "flow
of information" concept, well after the wasp was produced and had probably
ceased production, there were articles in the e.m. publications about using
the cmos inverters in unusual ways. two i recall are a vca published in
"polyphony" magazine and one more about general use of the cmos inverters
with an eye to filters from "electronotes" written by hal chamberlain ( i
think. have to dig out the article to be sure ). so, these ideas have been
"in the air" since the mid-80`s. notwithstanding, if you designed the circuit
used you should get credit and at least be paid for your design but if it is
a "reverse engineering" job, a "clean room design" or just someone stumbling
over something already done and forgotten about and resurrecting it, what
then? were i to design a vcf using cmos inverters, am i automatically taking
advantage of you? ideas and implementations have to be carefully considered
here and due respect given to all parties concerned. that is my sole concern
here, not bashing anyone.
thanks for listening.....
best,
dave v.
