Revised CEM FS List/Reissue Status

For newcomers and other, here is the latest revision of the CEM chip availability list.

 
The CEM3365 DAC multiplier has been price reduced, but that's the only price change I see for months to come. Also, all of the CEM3360 VCAs are now sold.

CEM 3340/3310 Reissue Status:

The proceeds from the CEM chip sale are to fund the mask reissue of the 3340 and 3310. As of today (April 9), the order rate is behind what I expected. 

Over 160 people have asked for the list. So, please let me know if:

a) my prices are not what you expected
b) you're waiting for something to do with them, like for me to get on with my $35/module synth design
c) only need 3310s, 3328s, and 3340s so are "sitting on the fence".

Hopefully, the returned 3340s will yeild high, so these well sell. But even if I sell 150 of them, we are 1/3rd of the way there.

Thanks!

PARTS THAT ARE FOR SALE

re-issue of the CEM3340 and 3310. If enough of these existing
inventory parts are sold, the 3340 will be made available in
mid-summer with UNLIMITED quantities. Then, proceeds from the
3340 sale will fund the mask set for the 3310, and possibly one
other chip (3328 or maybe 3394).

Data sheets for these devices, as well as other interesting
synthesizer info is available at the CEM website:

Lastly: people have been asking about the SSM chips, and if
they can be reissued. We are undertaking steps to try to see
if this is possible. However, at this point is is unlikely.
