[sdiy] ASM-1 Questions

[Nihil Chimeraea]

Hey, I've decided that once I can scrape up the cash for a PCB and the parts for a module or two, I'm going to start building myself an ASM-1, since it seems like it'd be cheaper than buying any of the better vintage semi-modular  analogs and is actually reasonably competitive in terms of specs, and had a few questions... 

First, how much did it end up costing most people to complete the design? I was guessing maybe 50$ for the casing, 50$ for a custom front panel, 50$ for the PCB, and maybe 100-150$ for the electrical components, but haven't done enough reaserch for these to be more than guesses. 

I'm hoping to get one of Paia's midi->cv converters and use that to control the device, and was wondering, is it on the right scale? It defaults to V/Oct, and while reading the info on Magnus' ASM-1 page, it never actually explicitly stated that it takes V/Oct for pitch control voltages, though V/Oct was mentioned on filters and things, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask just to be certain. 

And last... when grabbing the schematics off of Magnus' page, the files were labelled '1 of 7', '2 of 7', etc... but there are only five. Going by the circuit section listing on the page, it looks like the noise source and 'cv glide buffer' are missing... where are these? Also, the oscillater design was also marked '1 of 2'... is there a second page I'm missing, or is this an error?

Thanks in advance!
