Oops! I meant to send:

Hi Drew,

So, which one did you finish, the CA3086 or the SSM2210?

I'd be very interested to hear your opinion about any differences!

Cheers,

Hi Scott, Drew, All -

We're really glad that the info on our site proved useful.  It's
really encouraging.

If you have any pics and sound-samples, Drew, we'd be glad to post
them on our site if you'd like - or link to yours.

About the Tau Pipe LED issue - Jurgen confirmed that you really do
need 2 LEDs and that the bi-color one won't work.  Will wants to drill
an extra LED hole so we can preserve the original intent of Jurgen's
design - so we'll do that above the one that's already there and put a
green one there.

We've been moving our synth build project to a new space (we outgrew
the dining-room table).

Soon we'll be building three days a week.  Maybe that means we'll
finish our synth in a year or two - but that's predicated on Jurgen
and all you engineering types not inventing any more cool stuff.  Fat
chance <LOL>.

Well - yes - you're right.  That's the nature of the affliction, I
guess... Mission Creep <LOL>.  I keep telling Will that it all started
when I was 13 and wanted guitar strings.  I got a job asfter school...
then I bought a new guitar... and ever since then then mission has
been being re-defined with ever more expensive consequenses - him
being a primary example of the Mission Creep.  So the synth is just
the latest example... a never-ending, ever-evolving gadget.  <groan>
