[sdiy] ICL8038 VCO?

Hi Bob,

> Nice.

Thanks

>  Chris...btw do you need a new key for that thing? :-)

he he - that key got damaged by the previous owner who was in a Prog Rock band here in the UK.  However, I've owned the synth myself for the past 20 years!  I could have used white insulation tape to cover the hole but black is so much more revolutionary!

I've also got a cheaply acquired CS-5 coming my way today that needs a bit of fixing up :)  Also the Kenton Pro Solo MIDI to CV converter I have can do the Hz/V conversion too and the correct gate.

I have no idea :(  CS-15 and CS-30 certainly look similar but the others in the CS range I'm not so sure.

I'll do some mp3s of the VCO over the weekend if people are interested to hear it.

Cheers
