I later took off the module panel, moved the modules to a separate case,
and added a spring-reverb module.

Later, PAIA came out with a digital module that would digitally refresh the
sample-and-hold circuits; could do an arpeggio with it.

Years laters I gave the whole kit to a guy who was a fellow member of the
Augusta GA Atari club, and he used it to control a laser via mirrors.

These days Yoshimi is my "analog" synthesizer. Wrote a 300-page document on how
to use it, though others are carrying on that work.
