Elektor Formant Modular

I'm hoping that I will be able to find some of the components and 
where I cannot I will modify the design to use up to date devices. 
For my first build however I'm going to try and build to the 
original specs.
But since I'm still learning electronics at university I might make 
some mistakes so I dare say you'll here my problems.

Cheers
Kris
