There's an underlying ambivalence to this discussion:
On the ONE hand, yes, it's very common to copy/clone someone else's good designs
... saves years of your own r&d.... plus, there may only be a finite set of
optimal designs anyway.
On the OTHER hand, when Serge copied Buchla's stuff, he usually added his own
creative twists/improvements... or at the very least moved the knobs around.
On the OTHER OTHER hand, even cloning someone else's stuff is extremely time
consuming ... if he's on his own, Mr Duncan has managed to develop a fairly nice
module family ... only so many hours in a day.
