SergeModular

thx for the help...

I was lucky enough to have my studio re-wired from scratch. I consulted
the 'studio wizard' guy who advertises in SOS. He told the electrician what
to
do and I've had NO earth hums whatsoever... it will be interesting to see
how the MOTM rack integrates with the Serge. First time I've mixed 2
systems.

OT - BTW - Sonic, I was introduced to your music by a mate who knew you in
Rugby - Graham
Holliday - back in '87. I think he contributed to a Spacemen 3 fanzine. He
lives in Hanoi, Vietnam now!
