Florian,

I'll try to understand everything when I have the time. Probably a PIC could
do the job.

Currently I'm about to prepare our booth for the Frankfurt Musikmesse and
this takes a lot of time. Actually we did not want to go to Frankfurt this
year but we have the chance to exhibit within the "Analog Synthesizer
Sub-exhibition" at very low charges. So I could not refuse ...
