[sdiy] Starting my ASM-1

[Jimmy Gogas]

I've finally decided, after looking at all the websites and reading the 
Formant document, that I will build my first synth : the ASM-1. As a first 
step, I think I'll build my keyboard and keyboard-interface.
I already have an old keyboard (with some digital effects) lying around the 
house. I was thinking of turning it into a CV-keyboard like the Formant one. 
I was initially thinking of buying a MIDI keyboard and using a MIDI/CV 
interface, but I'm currently a little low on cash. Has anyone actually built 
a CV-keyboard, or does everybody use a MIDI/CV keyboard? If someone has 
actually built one, can he please tell me what steps he followed?

Finally, does anyone have the schematics of a simple keyboard interface to 
follow? I looked at the one in the Formant, but it looks a little messy.

Thank you all in advance.
