[sdiy] Latvian CEM Synth IC clones

[paula at synth.net]

Tom,

  For me it's a size thing. I mean consider, a VCO, VCF, VCA and ADSR in 
a 4mm squared package?? I mean you've got a synth voice in such a small 
space. Small space = lower cost and better thermal coupling if you have 
multiple voices.
