This is no hoax.  Funny you should question that.  J

 

Assuming Cynthia gets some basic deliverablesuch as PCB and schematic from the originator of the design, then there’snothing to prevent repackaging these into new formats.  I’ve considered doing somethingsimilar for the Patchell Diode WaveShaper board, butto be honest demand has not warranted it.

I was milling through the Analog Heaven archives and noticed these recent
Modcan
modules made by a 3rd party (Cynthia Webster) located here:


http://www.microtonalsynthesis.com/~cynthia/modules.php

Assuming this is not a hoax, is it legal to grab abunch of other people's
designs
and manufacture your own modules for sale? I'm seeing Encore'sUEG

here, Blacet, Ken Stone designs, MOTM/Korg tripleresonator, etc. She does give
credit to those people. Maybe she coincidently goteverybody's permission (and
schematics) at the same time. It seems odd. Ifit's legitimate I hope all goes
well for her. It's nice to know these modules areout there (if not a hoax)
should I ever end up with any Modcan stuff in thefuture.
