Dedicated to Doug Curtis.

Doug Curtis was the founder of Curtis Electromusic Specialties and OnChip Systems. One of the most important and least known synthesizer pioneers of the 20th century.
The designer of many original analogue ICs, widely used in electronic music instruments.
Instruments with CEM ICs are said to have that Curtis sound, described as "fantastically saturated, brash and powerful".
