    Looks like it has a fixed signal path initially as I see no patch cables. I'm assuming you can repatch this? Sort of like the ARP 2600?

    No, it's neither modular nor semimodular.

    It IS beautiful however! :)

      something to think about

      I also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds – as you say, the coyote sound – so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie. — Ennio Morricone
