oops, there's an error in my last message...

Re: oops, there's an error in my last message...

Is the mod always in the dynamic voice allocation mode? I used to have a CS60 with a mod with switches to select normal, 2-voices per key, 4-voices per key, and full unison modes. I think it would be more useful to have a way to select how many voices are stacked.

True but won't ever happen @ a sane price point like $199. 
Kent charges well over $1200 USD for the same functionality I offer.
 To accomplish what you're saying requires separate mods from the points 
used.... or, approach from a different perspective. Have you grokked the functionality
 of the Key encoding to manage that inexpensively?

I would love to charge $1200 for my dynamic unison mod. Very interested to know where you got that figure from actually. My price is £200 built and fitted including the bypass switch.

there must be a typo in RL's site.  it was there. I thought it was possibly a mistake, too. but it WAS in print so I didn't investigate.
In any event, what I am doing is a bit different, especially from the user's perspective, so I am serving the DIY folks who want to do it themselves. I also changed the circuit a bit.  I haven't looked at the site since I began designing this, so I apologize if that's no longer the case.

Kent, I will take that statement out of the e-bay listing. I don't want to mislead anyone.
Thanks for calling my attention to this.

Very likely indeed as RL music does seem to like inflated figures :)

Actually, I sent Kent proof of that privately, because I would want to know that if someone had been
getting that much from something I had built. It is in fact, a fact that it goes for 850GBP on that site.
 
But in any event, mine gives the end user the ability to do it himself/herself. My design is slightly different as well , but the functionality is the same.
 Thanks
Tim
