<div>What is the longer term plan of Alfa on the AS33xx IC's reissues anyway? Is this basically just an interest check or will they go ahead with the reissue?</div>
<div>Are they moving to specialised IC's? Can imagine it is tough for a smaller fab these days, where they probably do not have the means to introduce the latest and greatest processes.</div>
<div>Anywho, SMT would be nice so one can at least shrink the circuitry (while hopefully easily DIY-able, SOIC is fine).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Didn't apply for samples myself yet as I do not have a project in mind yet, and plenty of other projects in the pipeline, but if it helps the case.... :-) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Jarno.</div>

The obvious and simplest way to get these chips and running is to put together a schematic and PCB layout for one of the CEM-based classics. I’ve heard of a Pro-One PCB in development already, several people have mentioned wanting to do the SH-101 (although that involves cloning Roland’s filter with 13700 OTAs - more tricky) and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Prophet 5 and Oberheim OB-Xa or OB-8 voices.<br>> ><br>> > Once those boxes have been ticked, anyone who wants to get noticed is going to have to do something more interesting!<br>> ><br>> > Tom<br>> ><br>> > ==================<br>> > Electric Druid<br>> > Synth & Stompbox DIY<br>> > ==================<br>> ><br>> >> On 30 Oct 2017, at 22:11, paula@synth.net wrote:<br>> >><br>> >> Mattias,<br>> >><br>> >> Totally agree, but I suspect we will see a whole bunch of "rehash" initially, but after that, new ideas will come.<br>> >><br>> >> Paula<br>> >><br>> >> <br>> >><br>> >><br>> >> On 2017-10-30 20:15, Mattias Rickardsson wrote:<br>> >><br>> >>> On 26 October 2017 at 17:42, <paula@synth.net> wrote:<br>> >>> ...<br>> >>> It'll be fantastic to see what new stuff people come up with.<br>> >>> <br>> >>> This is an important point: new stuff!<br>> >>> I hope that the new-old ICs will make people invent more than <br>> >>> regurgitate. :-) There's such a lot of ideas not realized yet. <br>> >>> Remember that the CEM/SSM products disappeared from the synths when <br>> >>> they were still largely standard subtractive VCO-VCF-VCA machines. <br>> >>> We have 30 years of synthesis to reinvent! ;-)<br>> >>> <br>> >>> /mr<br>> >>> <br>> ><br>> > _______________________________________________<br>> > Synth-diy mailing list<br>> > Synth-diy@synth-diy.org<br>> > http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Synth-diy mailing list<br>> Synth-diy@synth-diy.org<br>> http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Synth-diy mailing list<br>> Synth-diy@synth-diy.org<br>> http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</div></body></html>
