[sdiy] Thoughts on a Polyphonic Synth

[jure zitnik]

true that but not for a potentially low-cost diy polysinth. ideally it
would be simply expandable with cloned voice cards and all would share
the same control bus.

imagine that. first you build the PSU, the digital board (uP and
DAC/ADC), the motherboard (global modulation sources, final mixer,
effects, ...) and one voiceboard. and you have a nice monosynth. from
then on you're just adding the (cheap) voice boards >:)
