DIY Digital Synth

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi!

Now, all this talk about digital DIY-synths made me recall an old idea of
mine...

Do anyone recall these serial bitstream adders/subtractors and also multiplier
chips? There where normal TTL familly chips which could make rather long bit
lengths of multiplication and addition but where operating on shifted data.
I once dreamed up the idea of a truly patchable synth where you ran these
serial streams in the patchcord.

It would be interesting to revisit this idea just for the mental challenge.

Other than that I follow the digital DIY stuff with interest. I have allready
done some similar work in hardware (ASIC actually) so it feel kind of related.

Cheers,
Magnus
