[sdiy] Starting Point?

[Pete Hartman]

Paul sold the IP rights to Bridechamber, who then passed them on to
Synthcube when Scott decided to get out of the business.  So Synthcube
manufactures the panels, PCBs, and brackets now, as well as kitting and
building some to sell premade.

The docs are still the same docs (for the "official" MOTM modules) and
there are a lot of compatible format panels for other modules (I'm partial
to the Serge/CGS Voltage Controlled Slope, for example), but of course the
instructions for those are not provided by Paul.  Some of them meet his
standards, and some don't :)

And yes Elby is the official outlet of all things CGS these days.  I do
believe some of the US folks resell their stuff, I know I bought a Eurorack
formatted Double Dekka by Elby from Modular Addict in Milwaukee....

I don't think anyone has mentioned Yves Usson's yusynth.net yet :)

Pete
