ASM-1 Update

[gstopp at fibermux.com]

     I've sent a few of the ASM-1 circuit boards out by now and they appear 
     to have been received in good shape, so I guess I'll go ahead and 
     offer them to the DIY list in general.
     
     Price is US $60 apiece, or $50 apiece for four or more in one order.
     
     While I haven't heard from anybody who has one built completely and is 
     currently making noise, by now I've got three working modules of my 
     own.
     
     This thing should be perfect for the beginning modular synth builder. 
     For example if I were to take the three units I've built so far and 
     stick them in a single modular, I'd have the following machine:
     
     6 VCOs
     3 VCFs
     6 ADSRs
     6 VCAs
     3 LFOs
     3 Noise Sources
     3 Lag Processors
     
     for a circuit board cost of $180.
     
     The first thing I'm planning on making is a four-voice poly synth, and 
     maybe add four more voices after that.
     
     I should probably reprint the disclaimer from my documentation here:

     Disclaimer:
     
     Since I don't build analog synthesizer circuit boards for a living, I 
     can't act as a customer service organization. The circuit board that I 
     have created has been built out of the components described and 
     according to the schematics provided. If it is built properly, it is 
     guaranteed to work. If someone builds it and it doesn't work, then 
     some mistake was made and the builder is responsible for finding the 
     problem and solving it himself, or finding an electronically-minded 
     friend to help out. The circuits contained in this circuit board are 
     quite common in the analog synthesis field and the required knowledge 
     to build and troubleshoot them are published widely. I have inspected 
     every circuit board in the production batch visually for defects; any 
     hidden fabrication flaws should therefore be minor and easily 
     corrected with normal PCB repair techniques. All components used in 
     the construction of this circuit board were commonly available at the 
     time of development, and I cannot act as a source for these parts. Any 
     questions can be directed to me via email at gstopp at fibermux.com; 
     however, I can't guarantee an answer since this is my work account. 
     There are others who should be able to provide technical assistance 
     for this circuit board on the "Analogue Heaven" and "Synth-DIY" email 
     mailing lists.

     I hope with this disclaimer I can walk the thin line between covering 
     my butt over the Internet without scaring people away.... By all means 
     if anybody finds a documentation error or has a really good idea, 
     please let me know!
     
     Anyway send checks to me at:

     Orders from the US can use personal checks. Orders from Canada can use 
     money orders in $US. Orders from elsewhere - I have no clue - anybody 
     out there have some advice???
     
     Regardless, I'll throw in the shipping and hope it all evens out.

     p.s. I've got 42 left. If I get low I'll get more made.
