200e

Chris,

that is exactly what I thought would the different Buchla users do:
- using "only" the patch storage function, i. e. knob settings IF they do not have a 210e (there is no chance obviously to save patch cords...)
- using the 210e for "some" but not all routings AND for audio matrix mixing IF they have ONE 210e
- using 2*210e to "completely" store complex patches (you might want to use AND save all the flexibility of the 200e system, i. e. lots of variable sources and destinations not "only" 8 to 5!
