Re: DIY... decades later...

2003-06-18 by Anthony Quintelier

I'm planning to build one myself, in fact: planning for 20 years 
already. I still have 2 µa726's wich I bought in 1980, and kept in a 
little box all these years... I'm thinking of redrawing the PCB's and 
frontplates, to make everything a bit smaller. Also, i will not build 
the keyboard and interface, but I 'm going to build (or buy) a midi-
to-CV interface, so I can hook up a sequencer or master midi keyboard.

I also have a few Curtiss ic's (cem), so I may end up with a kind 
of "hybrid" with formant and other (modern) modules.

greetings
