The EFM Cookbook is gone. Most of the cookbook projects
have become EFM pcboards and it's a pain to support it all. I 
have replaced the cookbook with a free version of the 303c.

The 303f (free but still copyright (c) EFM) is designed for beginners.
It can be used to convert a cheep plastic keyboard into a 303
clone. You'll be amazed at how close it sounds for being completely
different stuff!! It's one very good version of everything and I think
it's gonna be a great place to start.

If you were going to pick one part of it to build for fun before the
layout is finished , try the gate controlled AD envelope gen. It's 
very expressive and fun. It's so easy to layout someone may beat
me to it.....but mine will mount all the pots on the board...;-)

I'll finish this with a DIY board layout , descriptions and parts list 
in a few days (weeks)  or so....;-) Nah...AKA I will get to it fairly
soon. I may produce both 303c and 303f boards...depends.

The 303c midi version prototype is finished and in the EFM_Synth 
archive. For EFM members.

The pcb support files have also been moved to the archive. All that
will remain on the EFM page is product info, mp3s , pix and the 303f.
