[sdiy] Sn76477 synth I built

[rude66]

the one that had me almost falling off my chair laughing was '*This synth
sounds very close to other popular synths like Moog, Arp, Roland, Korg all
the big named stuff'.

i've had a 76477 synth for years, and it sounds absolutely nothing like
those machines at all. it's a nice blinkety blonk bleep bleep machine, but a
real synth? ehm.. no. a real big name synth? ha ha ha! come on..

here is mine.. http://www.xs4all.nl/~rude66/sn76477.htm
