ivan,
i used to have a copy of the klein book. gave it to a friend as i had the 
electronotes that a lot of the stuff came from.
never saw the tom henry book although i`ve seen lots of his stuff in 
polyphony in years gone by.
best,
dave v.

I have the Klein book. I find it very informative and I am using it 
currently to convert the effects board from the inside of a Korg poly-six to 
a stand alone unit. I am not sure if I can do it, but I have been using the 
BBD circuits in the book to get a better idea of how the effects pcb is 
layed out. I will have to replace capacitors and the like but it looks 
possible so far. I need the service manual to the poly-six, anybody have one 
by chance?

I am also using the CEM3320 low-pass circuit from this book to build out a 
MOTM style module that is almost identical to the 440 in appearance but 
without the enhance switch and of course a different sound. You should buy 
one of these $10 filters from Paul and build a module. It is a simple DIY 
job and will yeild fun results with MOTM quality!

I plan to build the CEM3310 VCADSR circuit after that. I also have Klein's 
CEM/SSM book of data sheets and extra curtis user guides. Very good info 
about the CEM3310 especially! If you build your circuit to MOTM specs and 
use a 900 power suplly there is no reason the be afraid of using this chip. 
Big focus is making sure you add bypass caps to all of the power leads on 
IC's. Just ask Paul.

I have read the Thomas Henry book and found it quite good as well. I guess 
all of the books on this DIY/Synth subject with new "to me" information will 
be good.

I am looking for circuits designed using the CEM3379 or 3389 if anybody has 
them laying around. Thanks for listening to the rant!
