> How many Synth's have you built :
> 
Approximately 5, mainly different generations of the one today.  Also
various kits such as PAiA Theremax, Gator and Drum synth.  Also contributed
professionally to digital synths at Ensoniq, digital audio editors at
Studer-Editech, sample editor and download applications (Alchemy) at
Passport Designs, and patch editors at Opcode.

> How long have you been a DIYer?
> 
Off and On since 1978.  I returned to analog full time in 1995.

> # Of Modular :
> 
One, although this includes components from E-Mu, PAiA, Wiard, along with
homebrew modules.

> # Of Integrated :
> 
ARP Avatar, for now just used as an ARP Odyssey w/o keyboard, with external
CV and trigger inputs.

> % With MIDI Support:
> 
No MIDI currently.  Just bought a used Casio FZ-10m so this may change soon.

> Built for Live performance or Studio?
> 
System is built compact for live performance and ease of hauling.  The Wiard
panels have recently been moved to an even smaller box.

I currently reside in West Windsor, NJ, after living in Freehold, NJ for
five years.  Not sure how long this will be, we may have to flee the
telecommunications blight out here.
