[sdiy] DIY organ

[adam at hoodmusic.net]

hi
    I think you may have miss understood me, or maybe my thought process is
just really flawed. What my plan is, is to make a cheap and portable drawbar
organ. So why not just take the DCOs from the juno, run them through the
appropriate divisions for the drawbars, VCA for each division, mix all six
voices back together seperately and send them to the appropriate VCF back in
the juno, simple 6 note polyphonic drawbar organ no? I thought about going the
cheap organ in the trash route, but the chances of it being drawbar is pretty
slim, and the chances of it being portable is even slimmer unless who ever
through out the organ also happened to throw out a van. and I just can not
afford the full DIY organ at the time, this is just something to use untill i
have a job and a bank account again. It would not be a full organ or anything,
but its better then nothing. hope that is clearer now.
