[sdiy] More analog kickdrums

[Bill Berzinskas]

I've gotten most of the adv bass together..   the VCO is coming off my 
modular right now... lol..

anyway..   it sounds pretty good..  i can get 808 and 909ish sounds.. i 
plan to mod it a little..  Adding Attack, 2nd EG for sweep, and maybe a 
modulation input.. we'll see what it sounds like on the bench i s'pose.. 
but ya, i like the sound of it..  don't think the samples cover it all 
really..
