Hi Paul - I have been building a blacet system for about 8 months, and am a couple of months away (at most) from completing it. I am very happy to see your wonderful modules in frac format, and look forward to buying some from AH very soon.

In particular I am excited about the ladder filter, the midi-to-cv converter (WOW!) and the uSeq. You have great designs and I look forward to becoming a customer.

Best wishes,
Michael McGrath
Ottawa, Canada

a) Received the box of 200 1K tempcos today (ordered March 3rd). This should
supply VCOs and VCFs for the rest of the year.

b) I have been traveling for my 'day job' alot the last few weeks but should be
able to ship another round of MOTM-650s by the July 4th holiday. Progress is
being made on the bug list (Sustain Pedal is functional, a new voice assignment
algorithm added).

c) Frac sales are going steady, I will start on adding more modules to the
lineup shortly (the 4th of July holiday is CAD time for me).

d) the development platform for the Cloud Generator is now defined and work can
begin (yea!). I found (by pure luck) a great Xilinx programmer that is not a
synth nut pre se but he has potential :) We are working on a more or less
'universal digital sound widget' that has enough horsepower to do lots of
various things under voltage control. What's hard is to "unrestrict" your brain
because we are (finally) at the point that digital HW is approaching free
(24-bit stereo DAC ICs for $1.50, 16-bit CV ADCs for $6, 500K gates of logic for
$10, 16M x 16 of SDDRAM in 1 chip for $8, etc). For $60 or so of hardware you
can kick serious booty :) You just need 6 months to program it (shrug).

e) By July 1 I will flush all the old orders (those not entered by the cart) for
the "future" modules, and have ∗every kit∗ shipped. For assembled, I have to get
leaded assemblies out to EC countries before RoHS goes into effect. I will order
the new RoHS solder ($35/roll, ack) for future EU kits and assembled modules.

I appreciate what Dave Bradley has done to support "my little hobby" and
hopefully I can help in some way.

Paul S.
