[sdiy] Altair: It's alive!

[Antti Pitkämäki]

Hi everybody!

The Altair synth is now working! My tech simple replaced a capacitor in the 
feedback part of the Altair's flter circuit. I guess this should not 
significantly change the Altair's sound character? I have not yet gotten my 
hands on the synth because it is in a different city than where I'm at the 
moment, but I'll have access to the synth next weekend. Oh man I'm excited! 
Now I finally have my own working Soviet Minimoog-replica (yes, it has the 
text "CCCP" inside a star printed on it, and also the original price in 
roubles is also printed to the back of the synth)!

My tech said that the information I sent him (from AH and Synth-DIY) was 
"very helpful", and he managed to cure the problem because of the 
information. So thanks all of you who helped me on AH and Synth-DIY!!! 
Without you I would just have a broken synth!

Since there's very little information on this synth in the Net, I'll post a 
review of the synth and some sound examples in the future.
