I have built the SBM, 2 VCO4d's. an LFO5a, RMP1, Diode ladder filter, EG, VCF1e, the MS 20 filter, all from EFM, the only things I haven't been able to get to work well with help from various people on the lists (especially Harry) were the VCA's. which I just bread boarded a different VCA circuit whenever needed.

I'm still working on the SEQ 2, but I feel my understanding of electronics is what is lacking to get me the whole way there, rather than EFM.  I am happy he is doing new modules and I love the sound of what I have built so far, I started with them as a rank newbie too, the pros can probably see into any problem much more easily.

  I built the EFM dual ADSR(kinda weak), LFO Ringmod (usable), VCO 4e (not working), Diode filter (not working). ...but the MIDI to gate convertor is great ! So is the MS20 VCF clone (though I have nothing to compare it with). 
    Being a relative novice, I'm happy to see any SDIY info, even if unreliable. I downloaded every web page and .pdf before the site flickered out months ago, so if you need something...drop me a line.

    I ended up just tossing my dual VCO kit in the trash after I gave up trying
    to get it to work right (big puff of smoke). Those pads lifted off WAY too
    easily...
