Elektor Formant Modular

Hello Kris.
 
Dont Forget that a small number of components in the origonal design 
are now obsolete, if I remember right they were obsolete when the 
design was published, there were several mods published, mainly for 
the VCO's and VCF's, because a temperature regulated opamp from 
Fairchild was not available, I think these mods appeared in the 
Formant book.
