Yeap!

You can find the core curcuit on the ASM-1 homepage:

http://home.swipnet.se/cfmd/synths/friends/stopp/

Then, if you aquire ASM-1 PCBs from Gene Stopp you will get the full suite of
schematics from him.

The reason not all schematics is up there on the web is due to lazy me and not
due to Gene saying Stopp.

I think these can be very usefull for getting inspiration from. I would also
recommend you to look at the Oberheim SEM (at Synthfool if I recall it
correctly), the Moog modular (at Music Machines), TomG's stuff, Sean Costello
has some excerpts being of interest, and naturally Juergen Haible's homebrewed
stuff. I know I have forgotten many other very nice pages holding material, but
have you covered the ground I have pointed towards, you will have no trouble
finding alot of what I have forgotten since it is just a link or two away.

There is a lot of stuff from which you migth certainly take inspiration, some
migth be suitable for DIY where as other is basically documentation on
commercial products.

Cheers,
