[sdiy] Circuit Boards / kits

[harrybissell at wowway.com]

PAiA designs eliminate every component that is not absolutely
necessary (usually). They are very cost effective but usually don't
perform that well. I started with the PAiA 2720 synthesizer and
by the time I got it working to my taste, I was an engineer :^)

That said... I still have 2720 series VCA in my modular synth...
they still work well !!
