<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Laurie, looks like you've taken on an important
responsibility!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been meaning to buy an ASM-1 for a quite a
while, but the lack</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of time has always got the better of me. I'm
interested in all the features</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you are offering, however I would like to sugest
keeping the power supply</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>off the asm-1 pcb as well as the midi-cv. It might
be worth someone designing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a dedicated midi/cv unit that could control
multiple ASM-1's multitrimbrally</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and polyphonically. That was the idea I've always
had anyway, to run 4</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>asm-1's for a semi poly modular :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keep up the good work!</FONT></DIV>

<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><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><FONT face=Arial>ground plane on both top and bottom layers</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>increased spacing on transistors</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>improved component layout to handle wider range of
component sizes</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>option for both axial and SMD Tempco in VCO and
VCF</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>minor improvement to ADSR - replace GATE threshold pot
with resistive divider</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>inclusion of jumper option for Linear and/or
Logarithmic GLIDE</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>trimpot on VCO to improve easy of setting-up</FONT>
<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>MIDI-CV
<LI>Power Supply (723 based design with small onboard heatsink option [mount
transistors off-board for larger heatsinking]
<LI>Triangle output on VCO</LI></UL>
