"Greek helix, helik-, spiral; see helix + Greek pteron, wing; see -pter.]
Word History: The two Greek words that are the origin of helicopter may be particularly hard for English speakers to spot. Helicopter was borrowed from the French word h?licopt?re, a word constructed from Greek heliko- and pteron, ?wing.? Heliko-, the combining form of helix, ?spiral,? has given us helico-, which can be joined with other words and word forms to create new words. The consonant cluster pt in pteron begins many Greek words but relatively few English words. English speakers unfamiliar with Greek are thus not likely to recognize the word's elements as helico-pter; many analyze the word into the elements heli-copter, as is shown by the clipped form copter."

...don't mind me, just brainstorming, trying to get ideas.

Interesting history of the term 'helicopter', though.

OK then, a little criptic there Marc. It took me the whole of my lunch break, but I finally found it!

The name threw me at first. "Appatchi", just like the helicopter. But when you look carefully at the name " Ap-patch-i - it's a little clever, but somewhat corny. Finally someone has made a patchable VA!

Anyway it looks as if it will be out September. There weren't many specs online - care to share a few of the specs with us Marc? Those keys look small, are they similar to the micro-korg or something?



Thanks for the clues Marc - I never would have found this otherwise.

Still, I hope you guys are making some new filters for the C series as well as this "Appatchi" thing.
