[sdiy] My special topics class approved! Whoo hoo!

[Charles Bisaillon]

Ignore the last email, oups.

WoW! I wish I had a class called "Theory and Design of Music
Synthesizers". That sounds wicked! The closest I can get to that is "Modern
Analog Filter Design" which is a classed intended for telecom option in
electrical engineering. It's probably not the kind of filters we wish they
were. d:(  

But I will be taking it as an option anyways d:)

Looking forward for the powerpoints
