MOTM

From what I have read about the unit that Wendy Carlos used in 'Heaven and Hell', it
was something she developed in the early days after the original S-OB but didn't use
it much.  She brought it back for 'Heaven and Hell'.  I don't believe there is any
relation to the device made by Anderton.
