Following up my recent mail, here it is online:
I finally started that insane project of building a polyphonic
(4-voice) Modular System.
The first Module is finished, an Interface Module to use the
Yamaha CS-50 as a keyboard controller.
If you want to take a look, schemos and front panel
graphics are here:
http://home.debitel.net/user/jhaible/additional_schemos.htmlAt the moment there is just that, the interface. And a lot of ideas
in my head. But I feel that actually building the first module was
like crossing a boarder - no more easy going back now. (;->)
Meanwhile, it's good to play the Minimoog clone from the
CS-50 keyboard, doubling the bass note.
And sweeping the MOTM Triple Resonant Filter with the
CS-50's aftertouch !
