hello list,
i'm very happy that you agree! :-)
indeed, the doepfer 259-based vco will be different
for the original 259 buchla vco, as doepfer always
improves the original designs in his modules and many
times adds new features too!
so, we'll have a new vco module with many advanced
features, in a price that many people can afford (that
means down to earth price). that's why i think that a
new doepfer advanced (259 based) vco is ESSENTIAL.
and most important of all, it will not be based on an
our of production old curtis CEM3340 chip anymore!
