[sdiy] First DIY synth

[patchell]

    Forget the CEM chips for new stuff.  They have been out of production for a
long time and are very expensive.  Look at the ASM-1,
http://home.swipnet.se/cfmd/synths/friends/stopp/  . You will find schematics of
all the basic modules there, using for the most part, easy to find parts.  The
ASM-1 schematics are, as far as I know at this moment, the best collection of
simple full featured modules you can make.  If you are more interested in overly
complicated, visit my web site below.

    Anyway, welcome to the world of Synth-DIY.....you will never be the same
again <evil grin>
