(copying the cs80 group, too)

Thanks so much - great video!  I've done the Doctor Who ring-mod intro 
many times on CS-80s.  What's really coincidental is that back in 1981 I 
had my first CS60 (couldn't afford a CS80 back then - even the CS60 was 
used) and I used it all the time with a Roland SVC-350 vocoder (great 
box!), which is what he's got sitting on top of the CS80!  Even 
stranger, is that in a house I was sharing in college, my CS60 and 
vocoder were set up next to one of my house-mate's Arp Odysseys  - also 
just like the video.  And I was a huge Doctor Who fan!

FYI, I've got the theme in the files section of this group.
