Here is my first bit of music to come from my Synth!! Hooray!!!

http://www3.telus.net/~sh9787/b455-l1n3z.mp3

The drums are from the computer, bassline is all diy gear (sequenced by 
the computer)
reverb and EQ on the drums, reverb on the bassline, a bit of compression 
on the mix. the drums are overdriven on purpose. sorry for anyone with a 
keen ear i didn't tune the VCO

----------------------------------------------

A bit about me for anyone who is interested:

I'm 22, and i've been at this on and off for a little over a year now.. 
I used to pursue programming as a hobby, until it became what i do for a 
living. I then needed a new hobby, and I guess I found it. Right now I 
work here: http://www.sanewave.com/


so far i've built (on proto-board) most of the ASM-1:

2 VCAs, 2 LFOs, 2 ADSR, 2 Lag (linear and exponential), the Noise 
generator, and 1 VCO (no second VCO or VCF)

general support modules (mixers, invert and scale.. that stuff)

the 'polivoks' filter clone (on proto board)

VC signal router (my own design, based on MAX303 analog switch)

PAiA drum tone board (on proto board, the kit is no longer available 
apparently)

kits:

2 PAiA midi2cv
2 EFM - VCF8E and VCF12A

currently working on EFM VCO4E

anyway i wanted to say that this list has been an awesome resource for me

thanks synth-diy!
