No - no ire here either.  I completely understand the point - if you
count our time, our synth is more expensive than if we had boughten
the modules already built.  But, of course, we like building them and
then, too, we've augmented the Synth Tech stuff with other modules
which are unavailable ready-made.  And we've modified the Synth Tech
stuff in the building of them - adding the Tellun 800db, for instance,
to our 800ds.
