Hello SDIYers,

I decided this time to create a monosynth from my obx card...
Yep I know is not an easy task, many control should be created from
scratch (lfo, pots voltages.)
But with (our)your help the task would be possible (! )

to start this, here are the connection with codes present on the card.

every place with question mark or empty (voltages and impedances ?)
should be filled...
for example I don't understand
ft1a, ft1b, vco2l and more...

I guess the minimum to hear something should be  connection to
G2, F1, F4, E4, D1, C3

thanks
Antonio
