Hi Philip

Would love to hear your finished patch. Have been trying to get 
close for many months but I still cannot get it. The Pleasure 
Principal is probably the best reference you will get of Numan's 
effects on the polymoog. The lead line in Cars is as clear as it 
gets. Its a bugger because I know for a fact that Mr Numan has at 
least two Polymoogs which are not used but I am assured are still in 
working order. They will however probably remain that way for some 
time which is a shame. I reckon they will need a fair bit of work to 
get these analogue beasts back to prime condition anyway.

Cheers

Alan
