hi florian,

thanks for such a kind and in depth reply. i have
scanned your list of recommendations repeatedly and
have now added many of these recommendations to my own
(forever exapanding) doepfer list. once i have
narrowed down my proposed system i may post such a
list to see what other users may have to say.

thanks again
dave
