[sdiy] introduction and P5 question..

[Bob Weigel]

Hi all...I'm the new oldbie :-)  I would have joined this list many 
times..but I always got a dead link.  HEY..I have a P5 of someone's on 
my bench and I'm wondering..I noticed a patch with a near '10' setting 
on the filter envelope attack...and a fast decay and lots of resonanance 
with 'unison' on.  The 5 voices..don't hit the climax at anywhere near 
the same time.  WHat are the 'normal tolerences' for that one?  I mean 
it's kind of a cool effect if you have ya know....a long decay I guess 
:-).  But it sounds like 'zoop....zoop zoop..........zoop........zoop' 
otherwise.  Hehe. btw I've been motivated of late.  On this page

http://cu.imt.net/~sounddoctorin/ 
you will find

1)  a virtual tour of my museum/studio including polymoog, OB8 and some 
other fun toys and some fairly rare. 

2) A MOSTLY BROKEN LINKED (at the moment) skeleton structure that will 
become a resource page for  synth people.  I'm linking all resources for 
every fairly known synth at least that might be of use to the typical 
diy person or bench tech.  Factory sounds or reliable links to them, 
eeprom dumps, MIDI protocol, common problems, uncommon parts and links 
to them AND (tadaaaaa) the WORLDS FIRST ONLINE KEY ID'er page!!!   
Between myself and a fellow tech who does more Organs, we have a decent 
collection of used keys and I know what most of mine go to.  I'm about 
to work through his box and add those in.  So if you ever break a key, 
this site will show you a pic to confirm that you are looking at the 
right key, give you OTHER keyboards that use the same key..hopefully all 
of them eventually...and offer links to people who will sell them to you 
hopefully soon besides myself!  I mean..if I have the keys sorry but I'd 
like to get rid of mine first :-).  But I mean if there are keys I dont' 
have I will by all means link you for that resource so let me know. Also 
if you are in another part of the world I'll put you on so people can 
save postage even on ones that I have. 

In my business I work on a lot of electronics of all types.  But synths 
are my favorite as you can probably tell :-).   I produce my own songs 
when I get free time.  Mostly electronic based but I'm doing some guitar 
now and I often have voice and live percussion and some trumpet and 
trombone on some things.   I've written a lot of lyrics, many available 
on my old site that can be gotten to from the new one.  Blessings, -Bob
