[sdiy] Formant - still viable?

[Philippe Derenne]

Hi Bob,

Have a look there : http://www.euronet.nl/~rja/Emusic/Formant/
You'll find usefull info about the Formant, and newer components.
Do you have the two books about it ? Or more ?
I'd like to build one as well, but I still need more than 24 hours in a day ;-)

| What are the chances of still being able to build the Elektor Formant, now
| that it ts ~25 years old?
| 
| Has anyone done this *recently*?
| 
| I'm looking at this design, because:
| 1. I have a very full and complete description of its construction, and
| working theory,
| 2. I can buy it "a component at-a-time" if necessary.
| 
| I've go to wonder though, if all the components are still available, and
| whether alternatives exist.
| 
| Comments, anyone?
|
