He's working on it, and it looks like it'll be really fun indeed : a real complete monosynth with the usual classic modules (vco, vca, vcf, lfo, adsr, s&h) + keyboard in a little package (about 6" x 6"). He's planning an additional break out box too to get more modules I/Os. And it'll certainly be cheap too (he's trying to keep this in the 200$ range (without expansion) and even if it ends up with a higher pricetag it'll still not be really expensive). Grant hasn't got any production dates etc. yet but I know that I'll get one as soon as they'll be available ;) He also said that the projected small price & size comes from the fact that there will be robotic assembly of the unit + surface mount technology. </daviD> "In space no one can hear you Because no one's really listening Saint Peter's got his gates to clean And God's too busy saving queens To ever get down off the fence" Carter USM, God Saint Peter and the Guardian Angel
