[sdiy] A new Synth Project

[James Patchell]

     When I lost most of my eyesight, I didn't think I would ever do 
something like this again...but here I go again.

     Back around 1999, I did this project:

     This board was huge (15" x 10").   And it was so big, building it 
was a real problem.  (Although, back then I could see).  I don't 
remember the component count, but it was a lot.

Well, I got the hankering to give it another try.  But this time, I was 
going to keep it much smaller.  I have got the schematic about 95% 
complete at this time, and after counting the pages, it came to 32.  
Hmmm....not exactly as minimalist as I intended.  I call this one the 
SMBC, which stands for Synth Module Board - Cheezy.

     It includes an AVR X-Mega controller which will do 
Midi/Sequencer/User Interface duties.  Anyway, here is a very prelim 
schematic.

When I am done with this project, it will be "Open Source".
