PLAN B analog blog

Peter,

I received my oscillator. It is chugging in the background, cross-modulated 
by my other Plan B VCO, and what can I say? It sounds menacing (those great 
soothing sounds it is capable to produce I will repatch when I am in a 
better mood), with a lots of character. That's what I wanted. You are a 
great designer, and in right hands, these oscillators might have a lot of 
impact on the world of electronic music.

By the way, the oscillator was double-packed (box in a box, with bubble wrap 
all over it). Regards,

Zoran
