[sdiy] ADMIN MESSAGE: archives 2000-2005 (mostly) restored

[Ben Bradley]

I downloaded the archives I could find, going back to 2007, and have
been reading through them since July when I first tried to sign up to
the list. I've been going backwards by year and am only back to 2012
so far. It was quite amusing to read about how analog was dead, so
many of the old, really good chips had been discontinued (and of
course MORE have been discontinued since!), and the future is in
digital synthesis with ARM chips and such.

But since then the modular world seems to have grown in popularity,
and this year has seen the re-release of the Minimoog, Korg has just
released
the Minilogue and Monologe analog synths, and what was the model
number of that Roland analog drum machine that some new similar model
came out...

So in the last year my interest in designing and making these (analog,
but I'm also generating lots of sine waves on a STM32F4 Discovery
board) things has been re-ignited. The challenge, as it always was, is
to make something interesting with the parts that are currently
available. I may post some schematics, but I want to build the
circuits and get them actually running first.

This expansion of the archives just might slow me down.
