nasty chip

OBIE? You mean the ones with or without patchstorage? 

Why is this patchstorage in all synths the same? Didn't anyone hate 
the idea of quantisation in that time? Yeah, right I forgot 'digital' 
was THE word at that time. But really I hope you DIYers can imagine 
that it's totally ridiculous to have quantisation on an analogue 
synth. I would have prefered to have it bypassed for performance 
mode. 

The problem is that I would like to learn from analogue synthesis 
without buying a modular right away. It's also much more fun to have 
at least one basic an. synth. for fun. I play the piano, that makes 
me musically interested. The other part is my interest in sound. I 
can't imagine a better interface and soundsource than an analogue 
synth. 

So here's my final question; I would like to make a connection with 
CVs from the front panel to the main circuitry, bypassing the cpu. I 
guess everything goes through an ADC with samples the values of the 
frontpanel CVs with 6 or 7bits quantisation. Now I can't do it 
myself, if I would ask a repair center for an synths;

 1) Would they do it at all? 2)How much time would it take to make 
such a connection (and of course a switch on the front panel) for the 
costs.

Of course I would like to do it myself but I don't have the knowledge 
or the practise. I was planning to study maths next year in Prague so 
I would have to take a course in Electronics (would that be 
sufficient?)

>If you like the sound of the Juno, you might consider buying a Juno-
6 to reolace

No, I don't like it but I think I will miss it though so I tought I 
might consider buying something Rolandish.

Another think did the pro1 had memories too?

Thanks, 


Paul
