[sdiy] Thanks Everybody!

[Cynthia Webster]

I am always amazed at what a Great Group of people this is!

Thanks Everyone for such great help in this research project!

Jim has offered to send me xerox copies or scans of the
Synapse Magazine article that (I believe) Serge himself
wrote back in the 70's

Several of you also sent the URL for Jurgen's version of the circuit
(a little scary to me actually, many strange devices I've never seen)

and Grant actually emailed the Synapse schematic and parts list to me!

Thanks!  You are all just so unbelievably kind!

I'm still hoping to get a copy of the actual TEXT from the Synapse article
if anyone is able to send it.  It will explain a lot to me, as
I would like to learn more about the circuit by reading text -
instead of simply aping the circuit - without understanding it more.

I'm hoping to build a series of "musical engines"
yes, with four, six and eight-cylinder versions,
(maybe even a "turbo" later) LOL!

An Analog Shift Register for control voltages would be at the heart
of this, along with a voltage-controlled clock.

It's sort of a compositional automation scheme of sorts, part Universal
Event Generator, Part arabesque pattern generator, Surround Sound Panner,
and sequencer all rolled into one.

I'm still playing with ideas, but anyone who is interested can see
sort of what I'm thinking about in the files section of the site for the
Yahoo Modcan Group...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Modcan/

I think one might have to sign-up to get to that section of the site,
but see (if interested) if you can go in directly to here:

Like the wonderful Universal Event Generator, and the Mikado project
this musical engine thing is striving for something a bit different.

I certainly appreciate all the kind help and feedback from everyone here!

Warmest Regards!

Cynthia

Hey Pete - What about Apex? (We're even)!  "Electric Music?"  Sheesh!
