[sdiy] Polymoog

Yes - very nice CS-80 site! Maybe someday I'll try to conquer one of those
too... it's a disease I think...

Yamaha CS-60/80 is not bad.

Well now the CS series is slightly digital, since there's a logic-driven
voice assignment engine in there. I was thinking of purely analog in the
sense that there's no flow-chart based stuff going on. The polymoog does
have a keypad encoder and some 1-of-8 selection, and the dividers and
latches are technically digital, but there's no clock-driven state machine
functions. So is it not purely analog?

Bear with me guys, I'm trying to have fun with this :) How complicated is
the Korg PS series? Any velocity sensing there?

Best Regards,
