[sdiy] More Synth DIYUK videos

Hi ...yes Ghilmetti are probably the only company still doing matrices. 
They are hellishly expensive but very well made. EMS matrices are 
different and were made by a company calle Sealectro in Hampshire I 
think. 

I also have a few oxley matrices..they were interesting in that you can 
fit them together to build larger matrices. That said the quality is 
nothing compared to Sealectro or Ghilmetti


I have seen Sealectro matrices on 1960'/70'ss  era programming boards for 
cnc lathes. Also they were used to programme large analogue computers of 
the same era. I even got a sealectro matrix once from an ex MOD piece of 
defense equipment..!

cheers
steve
