[sdiy] Additive Synthesis Doesn't Work?

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hey Glen,

VERY nice. That's a great, scary (in a good way) piece you've got going
there. So...are you going to tell us what equipment you used, or do we have
to wait and read it on the CD liner notes? ;-) Whatever you're doing, keep
it up.

I love additive synthesis, and it would be great to possibly build a
hardware additive synth someday. That's why I've been poking into Walsh
synthesis recently, hoping it might be an easy route into a DIY hardware
additive synth.


take care,
Glen
