.....sad story.......

.......well I don't know that there would have been anything actually
patentable here......using a particular chip to do something that has
been done before isn't patentable no matter how elegant.....

the patent thread has come up before here.....anyone interested in patents 
shd check out Don Lancaster (yes, the CMOS Cookbook man) on the case against
patents.

Incidentally i wouldn't let real or alleged patents stop anyone building
their own
synths using particular configurtions.....the cost of litigation, who would
want to
sue you?
