Hi, I'm new to the group and never expected for such a group to exist anyway!... I just took my old Formant out of the 'mothballs', cleaned the spiderwebs off and connected it to my midi-setup using the old Roland MPU-101 interface that I have... ..and voila... it still works!!!!! I built it with a friend of mine in 1979 and it still works!!!!!!! And I must say that the warm analog sounds can't be beaten - neither can the possibilities of just plugging whatever module's output into whatever input..... no-one who has made a preset for you... DIY in any way... My formant has 4 VCO's 4 ADSR's 2 VCF's 12dB 2 VCF's 24dB 2 RFM's 2 LFO's 2 VCA's 1 COM 1 Noise 1 RingModulator 1 Staircase generator (own design) 1 Frequency counter built-in for tuning Only thing is that the pots and switches might crack or don't really works as they should Anyone of you guys know of a way to clean them properly without using ContactSpray, 'cause that can do more damage after a while..... cheers Hans
