[sdiy] Synthi A project

[Chris Crosskey]

You want to see some of Jurgen Haibles or Jorgen Berforgdus' stuff, along
with Paul Maddox's entirely hand-built rack-mount monosynth with all the PPG
Wave, and Ensoniq ESQ wavetables in it with a Moog filter.... looks as good
as it sounds.....THat Synthi A clone is indeed gorgeous but there are others
out there too....I must try and dig out the address of the guy who entirely
retro-engineered the Moog 55 a few years ago....walnut cabinet, looks like a
Moog, sounds like a Moog, cost him about 400 UKP.....and about two years
worth of evenings and weekends......
