I checked their (english)  web site and if anyone is interested in the issue
this project was published in and for the price of the PCB for the project,
its:

>

> Yamaha DB50XG Stand-Alone Soundcard
> 974100-1 PCB £ 14·75 US $ 29.50

The site is located at:

This looks like a great project.  The DB50XG is an awesome little synth.
Has anyone here built this?

Regards

Nick
