Re: [motm] gate processor preview

2006-02-22 by Richard Brewster

I just enjoy pondering panel designs.  I can certainly picture Scott's 
panel style in my synth.  When the Stooges get their panel shop rolling, 
it probably won't be long before I am adding another cabinet, and some 
of those new Tellun modules could find a home in it.
