[sdiy] ETI DPX was Polyphonic keyboard scanner

[Mike Gorman]

An interesting snippet I picked up recently (if a little OT) is that
Powertran was owned by Richard Becker - who designed the ETI Vocoder (not
Tim Orr as some people think), who was the brother of John Becker who
produced quite a few interesting articles for Practical Electronics and
Everyday Electronics. 

As well as being PE's and EPE's Editor for a few years, John also owned
Phonosonics for 20 years, which used to provide kits for lots of the
Electro-Music articles I used to be interested (PE Sound Synthesiser,
Minisonic, etc.). Sadly, John passed away early in July this year.

Regards

Mike Gorman

I have it as a pdf but it is 120M in size. Do you have somewhere I can  
put it otherwise I'll use 'sendit' or something.

Without the chorus it was a bit thin and weedy, but with it, and a  
touch of reverb and a bit og high cut, I thought it was a pretty good  
electronic string section.

Yes, Powertran in Andover supplied kits. I had the DPX and the their  
digital delay box.
