[sdiy] Formant?

[Happy Harry]

I guess its a semantic question... 'little'
more advanced....  ;^P

My point was that support is available from those
who have built these modules themselves and are
on the EFM list, where most problems are worked
out. Only some posts get cc'ed to the synth-diy
list.

Granted you get much better documentation from maybe
PAiA... and you pay for it as well.

EFM is cheap. A board for $10-15 per module, that's
great. Most things I've changed with EFM have been things
that worked, but I wished they worked differently (like
a sawtooth that went from 0-6V but I wanted +/-3V....)

The options of EFM such as the heated chip / vs tempco is
a problem for a rank beginner as well...
