Modular Synth Panels

This question explains why Don Buchla, synth pioneer
and legendary inventor of circuits, was quite suprised
for me to ask for his blessing. It's just what I
consider "right" to do. Otherwise I'd have an EMS
Synthi clone coming, a JH library of PCB circuits
(like...cough... Doepfer) and more. This community is
grass roots. Don still makes the modules. Maybe I
should be making my own MOTM-300 VCO since the circuit
is "not patented?" Never...

In the end, I am no designer or inventor. Only by
basing my designs on other people am I able to make a
circuit available in the first place. Sure I am a
half-whit circuit bender and can follow instructions
in the many circuit books I have read in the past. But
I have no true invention to call my Own. While Don's
LPG is not patented it is still his design. 

Thanks for the question though. If my own grassroot
PCB does not get approval per my request for a 2nd
run, there are already many other options... from:

Plan-B
Cyndustries
Doepfer
Make Noise
Wiard

etc. 

Thanks for listening.
