PLAN B analog blog

Not yet - and it would be really inaccurate to speculate now as the pacing
item, the pots,  have not yet been spec'd.  But I will say that one of the
main reasons I elected to go digital was the cost consideration there is a
GREAT reduction in part count doing it this way) - we're all gonna also
benefit from all these nifty features which we're throwing in now as they
only requires another line of code here, there, etc.  It's so easy, it's
scary.

I will say if the $$ crawls up too high I'm gonna be pissed.  I'm trying to
make the core unit affordable as possible.  Please let it rest at this.  If
I say anything now I may be pulled under the carpet by that later.

That being said - it may also use the narrow knobs on the banks - like one
on Model 15 fine tune.  This isn't a cost issue - it's ergonomics. I didn't
not want to sacrifice the forth bank - but I want the instrument to be
usable.  The narrow knobs really make a difference and they look sweet -much
like the Serge TBK.  They're attractive looking controls.
