hello florian,
of course, if dieter builds a vco based on a buchla
259, it is sensible to first take permission from don
buchla to use it's design idea! that's what i thought
all the time. i would never want to start a war
between doepfer and buchla, that's for sure! i never
thought that doepfer would copy buchla designs without
his permission!
