BAKIS!

Good to hear from you, my friend.

The M14 is being sold at an intro price of $225, which is a great 
deal considering it's roughly equivilent to three Doepfer A-138c's, 
a A-172, a A-132 and a A-138a.  We're offering it at this price for a 
limited period as a thanks to everyone for being patient for it's 
release.

The M14 is 18HP wide, the same as the VCO.

Current draw fluctuates greatly, which is to be expected with a 
three-in-one module.  Sitting inactiive, it's at about 50A. With all 
inputs used and the unit being crossfaded via a VC, it runs at 
about 80mA when both LEDs are off, but rises to about 100mA 
when they're on at full intensity.

Left unattended, a single one element (one color) LED can pull 
up to 40mA by itself. I've tempered the current  down a bit which 
in this instance is fine...these dual colored jobs are super bright.  
How bright?  They make the knobs around them glow when at 
full intesity.  You might considering sunscreen and welding 
glasses when using this guy!

Bakis..l.the M14s will be shipping to Schneider's in about a 
week.
