John Bowen Synth Design

I think if you replace the middle LCD it would look great. Your're almost there. I think the reason why it looks "ugly" is because it doesn't match... Just my .02

Thanks JB!

Understood, thanks John. That would take care of at least 1 of my 2 concerns...

That sounds like a nice idea! While you're at sonic core John, although I'd love 4 part multi mode, I'd settle for at least a 2 way split at this point. I think this is something very common that I think every synth should have. So if you're planning to do a small OS update please try include at lea...

Agreed...

Wow!! Thank you Robert for taking the time to write all of the descriptions. Knowing all of those details makes the presets shine as you intended. So helpful...

And YES!, the reverse engineering of these patches is so much fun
