KIDS! I am slowly turning my sweet little "tween" daughter into a gear junky 
just like her dad. She's just about to get her first Jazz Bass out of 
layaway (or did she get the P Bass... I forget...) Yes she got it because 
Pete Wentz plays it.

But on the topic of knob-twiddling, (the subject of which a father of a 
daughter considers with great trepidation) she is eagerly awaiting one of 
(the PINK one of...) the synths I have dubbed Synthasaurus - which is a 
simple but cool monosynth built into a Pianosaurus toy piano - featuring a 
4069 saw/pulse VCO, 1 ADSR EG, 2 AR EG's, 1 Ray wilson 4-pole 24db/oct 
filter (or CGS Synthacon tribute), Ray Wilson dual log/lin VCA (or a Power 
amp using a TDA1013A) and a power amp & speaker and as if that all weren't 
enough: an 8-step sequencer. All of it patched with banana jacks. So far I 
have 4 carcasses - well I guess only one is a carcas right now - so 4 pianos 
awaiting conversion. Watch for them in the near future on eBay. I plan to 
use purchased PCB's where available.
If the 2 that I'm planning to sell on eBay do well, I will begin to build 
these monster in earnest.
