Peter, you failed to mention that the uA726 now is grown in some new fungus
found in my basement lab. You know this since I just sent you another batch
for that monster modular you are working on. Don't let Sean miss out the good
stuff!!!!

This list hasn't lost it's humour at least. We're having a ball and this is
maybe even a better list than it was when you left. I had fun then and I have
fun now - welcome back to the assylum!

Besides that, right now my Synth-DIY activites involves me doing one of the
things I am not know for - metal work! This is to cut the holes in two 15x15
iron tubes to fit two SEMs and a few other things into a bag. Then I am cutting
M3 threads into the holes. This may seem trivial to people, but I've never done
it and it's fun! I also got to get my Dremel with drilling table in action for
the first time. That is part of the fun. It took some time to figure out the
details but now I have a procedure wich feel safe and doesn't load the Dremel
or drills down too much. So... I'm having a ball! ;O)

PS. The ASM-1 has evolved to an ASM-2!

PS. You can get loads of Buchla schematics and more at my webpage
