<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am the official supplier of the ASM-1 pcb and it has
come time to get a new batch of boards in. I wish to get feedback from you users
on a few points:-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1) would you like the board to stay exactly as is
including a few minor component omissions etc, or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2) would you like to see the board enhanced as
follows:-</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>track sizes all increased - signal tracks taken from
12mil to 15mil</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>missing components added onboard (diode on gate for ADSR,
output resistor on ADSR and VCF, 10R resistor on ADSR ATTACK pot)</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>ground plane on both top and bottom layers</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>increased spacing on transistors</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>improved component layout to handle wider range of
component sizes</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>option for both axial and SMD Tempco in VCO and
VCF</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>minor improvement to ADSR - replace GATE threshold pot
with resistive divider</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>inclusion of jumper option for Linear and/or Logarithmic
GLIDE</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>trimpot on VCO to improve easy of setting-up</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>board terminals on a 3.5mm pitch to allow for insertion
of terminal block</FONT></LI></UL><FONT face=Arial>
<DIV>3) or, option (2) above plus the following modules:-</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Ring Modulator,</LI>
<LI>MIDI-CV</LI>
<LI>Power Supply (723 based design with small onboard heatsink option [mount
transistors off-board for larger heatsinking]</LI>
<LI>Triangle output on VCO</LI></UL>
