Re: GMedia M-Tron

> Where did they get the Birotron from?

The documentation doesn't say, but there must be at least a few 
still kicking around.

> The reason I mention this is because the Birotron sounds on the M-
Tron are easily the worst of the lot as far as fidelity is 
concerned. This surprised me a great deal, as the Biro is actually 
not bad sounding at all and does indeed boast great clarity of sound.

My only experience with sound of the Bitotron (which was developed 
about a 20 minute drive from my house) is the M-Tron. I just assumed 
all Bitotrons sounded that bad. 

> Tangerine Dream? Interesting. Didn't Radiohead use TD's original 
tapes on 'Exit Music'?

???

> What are the 'new GMedia choirs'?

The StPetersChoirAh and StPetersChoirOo.
