    Christ on crutches… Definitely the best workmanship I’ve ever seen in a modular synth. Just the knobs make me quiver. THE KNOBS!

    Anyone else read that as “urogenital diaphragm?” ;^)

    I also read “urogenital diaphragm” and i thought it was a synth/urinal that is operated by peeing on its the random doodads to get that sound.
