class=606385016-22042002>Actually if somebody created a complete clone I
wouldn't mind. I'm not in it for the money, I just wanted to build up a few
PCB's for myself and offer the rest for sale to make up for the fabrication
costs. The more PCB's out there, the better! The money that does trickle in I
usually turn right around into some broken vintage gadget from ebay. The only
original circuit in the whole thing is the ADSR anyway - the rest was liberally
"borrowed" from Electronotes. Particular thanks to Terry Michaels for his
workhorse VCO core.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Interesting....</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is anyone out there interested in building the
Formant and/or the ASM-1? I am doing a project (called the MAS-2002) that will
provide a low-cost modular synth based on the best of the Elektor Formant and
ASM-1 modules (plus any other that look worth adding). I am laying out on
stripboard and am currently generating overlays for readers to use so that
they can build these modules without needing to purchase the ready-made pcb
(sorry Gene if that sounds like bad business!).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also creating panel designs using the MOTM
module dimensions that I am printing on to pcb (just like Elektor used to do)
and am generally having good results.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
