Tom Stone originally called his interchangeable-fretboard company
"Intonation Systems" and later changed it to "Novatone". When Novatone
cratered, Mark Rankin took over some of the remnants of the company and
started selling interchangeable fretboards more or less as kits.

>Sounds like you're describing my only synthsizer, the Ensoniq VFX-SD.

Ah. Isn't the VFX ultimately sample-based, as opposed to a true
from-scratch sort of synthesis, like analog, additive, or FM?

I can't say I was actually keeping count and maybe you are right. I
think I know quite a few important Microtonalist here who are off line.
Can everyonbe please send a short preferance vote in a timely fashion!

I think that a "vote" is premature. The question is not just what city is
the nicest/most convenient, but what facilities, funding, concert spaces,
accomodations, equipment, etc. are available (unless people prefer to have
just a short, more informal, get-together). I would be happy to go to San
Diego (it's close, less work for me!).

However, I would suggest that whoever would like to host such a conference
draw up a proposal, as I am in the process of doing, answering the
questions above. How long would it last? How many concerts? What facilities
are available? Most importantly, roughly how much would it cost and who
would pay? When a clearer picture emerges as to what the conference would
be like in each location, then people will have something more to express a
preference about.
