[sdiy] Anyone have a Schematic for a Serge Analog Shift Register?

[Peter Grenader]

Oh God...Synapse.  Good old Doug. Another Cal Arts fellow.  You guys will
get a kick out of this story:

If any of you have the issue with the guy from Devo on the cover, sitting
with an Odessey I believe with a rubber mask on, they reviewed an
electro-acoustic music concert I had in a huge auditoruim at placed called
Birmingham High School  that (I'll admit) had a few technical hick-ups and
Doug just ripped it apart. Worst review I've ever red for anything in my
life!

Joan LaBarbara reviewed the same concert for the LA Times and loved it. GP
figure.

OK, it got bad.  For some reason, I had decided on this event I'd sit in the
audience, instead of working the tape machines.  Got 'my people' to work the
gear.  Barry Schrader's piece started with narration.  They started his tape
and twice speed and instead of just starting over, they just flipped the
speed while it was playing.  It gets worse:

Allen Strange had a piece in this as well and when this happened to
Schraders work, Strange went ballistic and took his master back and refused
to give it to me.  At this point my deordant failed.  Later he did in fact
give it back and we played.

Subotnick, who was dating (not yet married to) Joan LaBarbara came to the
event with her and walked up to me during intermission after all this
happened and said "I've had days this bad before, don't worry...you'll look
back on this someday and laugh".

Yeah...and then I got the review from Hell from Dougy.  That was the icing
on the cake.  He even panned the sign they decided to put up at he main
entrance of the school that said 'Electric Music Concert" Instead of
Electronic Music Concert .

Bad day,  that one.
