Not sure about the monosynth, but that polysynth was designed by  
David Greaves:

More of his projects here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~djg11/pubs/ 
projects.html

(ah... I see Elric was also his)

I'll drop him an email with the dates of this year's synth-diy  
meeting in case he's around then.

I have photocopies of the polysynth *somewhere*..... not sure where  
though :(

Cheers,
Neil
