Here's the other guy again, Thomas/riluttante, so my short-notice first-and-last custom
panel will look like this, most likely (I need to confirm this tomorrow):

Preamp Detector PRNV 1 "
New Timbral Oscillator NTO 3 "
Ring Modulator RING 1 "
Wave Multipliers VCM 2 "
Triple Waveshaper TWS 2 "
Variable Bandwidth VC Filter VCF2 2 "
Resonant Equalizer EQ 2 "
Cross-Fader (2x1) XFAD 1 "
Active Processor ACPR 1 "
Divide by 'N' Comparator NCOM 1 "

Any comments about the order?

Does anyone else own both an XFAD and an ACPR? Would they be "different" enough to be
part of the same panel/system?

To Matthew and anyone with a serious interest in the Serge I would also recommend to call
Rex and see what his plans are. He's not much of an e-mail person, but cleared up a lot of
my questions about the future direction of STS on the phone the other day. It's not all bad
news.

Thomas
