[sdiy] stereo synthesis

[Gavin Muir]

Hi All,

Hopefully not duplicating something already mentioned (I'm dropping 
in mid-thread; always a dangerous thing!)

Anyhow...

What about the Oberheim OB-8 (my personal fave)? Handy-dandy pan-pots 
for each individual voice on the right-hand-side wood panel. If you 
tweak the voices just a hair off centre... who needs chorus to 
simulate stereo! As well, you can get kinda drastic with your panning 
as you wish.

I suspect this is easy to VC... I think it is the last remaining 
excuse for the CEM3360s in the voice path (although I could be wrong 
about this).

Cheers,

Gav.
