New Builder Of the Formant

2004-11-03 by Kris Bishop

Hi to you all,

My name is Kris Bishop, 25, Scottish, Studying Electronics and 
Computing Engineering. Been playing synths for 15 years but never a 
modular. I own Yamaha CS1X, Korg MS2000, Supernova, Korg ER-1, Es-1.

Well I'm in my final year and have been asked to design an digitally 
controlled analogue synth. To save on time I am recreating the 
Formant.

I've read posts about it being hard to recreate due to lack of 
parts, however I should be able to overcome this problem.

Although I have a copy of the book from the net I drastically need 
the original as I feel some parts are missing. Can anyone tell me 
the name of the books and if possible where to buy them.

At the end of this project, May 2005, I should have a fully built 
digitally controlled Formant. Also the board I build will be able to 
be rebuilt by anyone as I will re-do the board layouts where 
required.

Cheers
Kris Bishop
