Thank YOU for raising an issue about what's BEHIND the panel. That's
my FAVORITE part of the synthesizer!

You're gracious to say so, but i really have no excuse. i've used that
article in the footnote many times before and knew perfectly well that
it was in Dutch. i was in a hurry when i typed it and my mind slipped
from "Dutch" to "Deutsch" .... (sigh) .... as Romeo aptly chided: i'm
an "Alter Mann",....losing ground to senility.

But more importantly, my faux pas embarrasses me more because i marvel
at, and am constantly humbled by, the command of my native language
that you Wiardos in other countries constantly demonstrate.
We Americans are spoiled. Imagine the bedlam that would ensue if i
tried to talk about the difference between Gaussian and uniform
probablility distributions in DUTCH. 
(shudder)
Hat's off to you tolerant folks in other lands!

There are many Wiardos on this group with deeper expertise in these
subjects than mine. i -can- tell you that assembling a vocoder using
individual mudules is not cost effective. It requires a dozen (or
more) of fixed filters, VCF's and envelope-followers. This is much
more efficiently accomplished in an integrated design, but even then
it is still expensiveto build and thus, expensive to buy . There
appear to be few shortcuts to that function.

It was my pleasure.

Happy Patching
