Paul!

I'll wait for you offering the new version because I simply have "two left hands" as we say over here... the only thing I'm able to do with a soldering iron is burning my fingers ;-) So I won't be able to build one myself... even though I printed out the schematics. I know a guy who repairs my old synths... maybe he could build one... I'll ask him anyway.
But please: send a mail to the list when you finished your new version. I'm sure you can sell a couple of those boxes.

Bye
Hauke

yeah, you need to add a DC in and 8 trigger outs, but thats how I use mine, it
just sits in a little black box.

Sadly, I don't have any left, I'm going to be doing some more in a month or two,
I've got a couple of things I need to get finished first than I can do the next
version, which will have more adjustment over the outputs so they can trigger
things better, and I also plan to add a simmons trigger din connector (less
wiring for my sds8)

Paul
