Um, excuse me, but oscillators in general don't sound 'fat'. Maybe the filters will make the sound fat. Oscillators just generate sines, saws, tris, squares, what not. > Rex was telling me once how they weave the wires in the circuitry to do > something magical to the electron flow ... You mean, they wind pieces of copper wire around a piece of stick so the circuit contains some self-indulgence?

Serge's early method of > discouraging clone makers ... Probably safety measures to prevent electrons from falling off or something.
