MOTM

I'll try to remember to bring the Trident Service Manual and the Anderton
article in tomorrow. It may not be easy pulling the string section alone out
of the manual, but I'll try to be intelligent about what I excerpt.

It's sad, but in my poor days as a high school youth, I couldn't afford a
lot of synths, so I bought the damned service manuals for several keyboards
thinking I could build them myself (HA!). The *really* sad thing is...
fifteen years later, I started thinking the same thing all over again! Now
I'm more realistic, just trying to pilfer a snippet of circuit here or
there. But it's not my forte.

As thin and pitiful as the Stringz & Thingz may have been, I wrote a few
things on that beast that never sounded right on any other synthesizer sinc!
I think the awful SAD-1024 delay lines were so "tuned" that they gave the
thing a formant quality that was necessary to the music I wrote on it. I
thought about sampling the thing... now I'm thinking, build the output
shaper into a module and then run the thing through the Triple-Res filter.

		  I was going to flip through the old String'N'Thingz'
manual to see what
		elements could prove useful in a module.

		   Send me copies/scans of the string section!

		   Hm, another one I'll want to see, for reference.
