building an exact duplicate of a Minimoog. One of the replies suggested he build
something better but didn't make any suggestions. For lack of a better name
lets call such a beast the Ultimate Minimoog. What are peoples' opinions on
what would go into making the Ulltimate Minimoog? Or has someone already
built it? I'll set down some general parameters but hey, even these can be
changed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

perhaps?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I would like to build a compact Minimoog (or
another simmilar moog-ish model) with no keyboard
(CV/Gatecontrol).<BR> <BR>This guys site: <A
href="http://www.meadowfield.freeuk.com/synth/mini.html">www.meadowfield.freeuk.com/synth/mini.html</A>
documents his recreation of a minimoog and shares his schematics. However, he
does not have PCBs (and hints that he will not share his "artwork") nor
does he show a finished working synth.<BR><BR>I have no experience routing
PCBs yet so I am trying to find projects with PCB designs already
available.<BR><BR>I really want to build a synth that will faciliatate Boards
of Canada style riffs.<BR><BR>cheers,<BR>
