from TB-303 resources mailing list -------[ http://www.tb-303.org ] ---------------------- Great advice...thanks a lot. Ive been keeping in touch with the man and he seems very kind. He recorded a few more samples for me and I will be ready to buy if he returns my mail which asked wether the modification could be "turned off". Thx again -Tim
