[sdiy] Should GaTech go bananas?

[James Patchell]

Turns out with the signal levels you see with synths...unshielded bananas 
work just fine.  I use both.  I prefer 1/4 for some things...bananas for 
others.

 From a building point of view...bananas are more labor intensive that 1/4 
inch.  From a using point of view...bananas offer a bit more 
flexibility.  There are a number of trade offs between the two of them.

         There are quite a few of us interested in digital.  I am working 
on a FPGA based synth, when I have time.  One list member used an AVR to 
make a digital...etc....there are actually quite a few of us 
here...course...I also do analog as well (my first love...I sure hope 
analog doesn't find out I am cheating on her with digital :-)....
