Hi! (And a quick question...)

2007-03-15 by translucencecs

Hi peeps, as a newbie, I figure I'd better introduce myself first: my
name is Jon and I have a semi-technical background, (but no formal
electronic work - just some fooling around with stuff for fun so far).
However, I'm hoping to improve my skills soon! :)

I've been thinking for some time about building several, if not all of
the Formant modules, and initially using them separately (rather than
building the whole Formant as a monolithic unit), in their own
cases... Eventually, when I've built the lot, I'll probably put it all
together, but I'd like to be able to use bits as I create them!

So I was kinda pleased to find this group, not least because you have
the PDFs in English here (rather than the French ones that I have -
although I speak some French, my technical language is zero!)

I'm also pleased to find you guys so that I have someone to discuss
Formant related stuff with!

...But I already have a question..!

What size are the PCBs? (Initially the VCFs, but I'm also interested
in the others, if different)

I ask because in my initial investigations, the 24dB VCF (which I'm
planning to build first or second) mask in the PDF seems to be a
little rough, so I was intending to copy it out to a graphics program
(say, Paint Shop Pro) and clean it up, then print it. However, the
sizing is likely to get lost this way, so I'll need to tell the
computer what size to print it when I'm done.

TIA for any help!
