<p class="MsoNormal">It costs money, but I can highly recommend the tech mentoring course offered by The Analog Lab. Jeff (the owner) used to be a keyboard tech for Pink Floyd during the glory days and managed their state of the art sound system back in the
day (as well as working with Vangelis). He's been doing synth repairs since Moogs and ARPs were new off the assembly line. He also helped design the Octave Plateau Voyetra 8. A few links along those lines:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As an aside off topic, I would love to see a video interview with Bernie Hutchins (or general documentary with people involved) about the genesis and evolution of Electronotes. Is anybody on the list able to get him on the horn and open
up about that? The number of people that were involved in designing synthesizers when it was the wild west aren't getting any younger and we've already lost some big ones. Would be good to preserve that history!!<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
I bought a PAiA Gnome kit when I was 12 years old. I'm 56 later this month.<br>
PAiA had been around for a good long while by that point as well, I think.<br>
