I still have doubths Paul, to sound! ;-)
But, i mixed it up a bit, the 3394 based units mixes
noise and VCO into filter, SDSV filters only noise so
on that one you are correct.

Where are the complete SDSV service manual?
When i look at the one at your site i dont see any 3340,
only the typical integrator comparator triangle OSC?

Well, i didnt "plan" anything actually, just a quick
speculation to se if interest might bee around!

Im not shure people are interested to pay for such a idea
even if it would be diy and affordable, you know, VST, PC and
all that stuff, synths toady are more like hair dryers,
buy one and trow away tomorrow!
