heh... yeah. :) the kit comes with the cpu, pcbs, and (i think) a couple
of multimec switches. the version you're getting also includes the keys
and the case, which is good.

but you have to get everything else.

all the resistors, capacitors, ics, cabling, etc. etc. that you have to
get on your own. you're in the UK, yes? colin has a BOM (bill of
matierials) that you can use to order what you need from the distribs.
over there.

when i said "assuming you have all the bits," i was referring to my
adventures over here (the US) trying to source compatible parts from
different distributors. most of the time i got what i needed, but i went
back and forth a number of times trying to get the right stuff. so i
started with what worked and tacked on the replacements for what didn't as
they came in. some things i just couldn't get in the US, like those
multimec switches for the step and upper knob function selection.

i created a US BOM to save other colonial builders from the troubles i
had, and colin has kindly updated it to reflect the new board
revisions. but his standard BOM should work if you're in the UK.

my suggestion: hang plastic sheets on the walls of your studio before
hooking up your p3 to the andromeda... otherwise, you'll have all kinds of
nasty stains on the walls after your brain explodes due to the incredible
awesomeness of the sounds you'll be making. :)

enjoy,
fred.

bleep.
out.
