Not difficult. Clean and straight forward circuit.

The two points that set it apart from other RMs have nothing to do
with the circuit:

(1) It's on the frontpanel, where you can easily grab it, and it has these
∗wonderful∗ Yamaha rotary slilders.

(2) It has a dedicated VCO, not tracking to the keyboard, but modulated
by a AD envelope. This is a limitation, compared to other RMs -
and exactly this limitation adds to its usefulness.

JH.

PS.: Forgot to say, apart from that, it's just your ordinary garden variety
balanced modulator.
