  Subject: [analogue-sequencer] Important: P3 Kits to be discontinued


  Folks,

  As some of you will no doubt be aware, new European regulations will 
  come into effect this year that ban the use of certain materials in 
  consumer electronic products (RoHS - Restriction of Hazardous 
  Substances).
  The effect of this ban on component manufacturers has been that a 
  large number of non-compliant parts, which are not considered cost-
  effective by the makers to update, are being discontinued.
  These parts are mainly in DIP (through-hole) packages, since the 
  majority of electronic production now is in surface mount technology.
  A number of components currently used in P3 look unlikely to become 
  available in RoHS compliant form, so I am re-designing the necessary 
  circuitry to continue production.

  However, this re-design involves a switch to surface mount parts for 
  the mainboard, and after some consideration, I have decided I will 
  no longer be making P3 available *in kit form* once this happens.
  To continue kit sales, I would need to have different sets of boards 
  made for kit and production units, and have them made in RoHS 
  compliant (read: more expensive) form.

  I will continue to take orders for kits until the end of this month 
  (January).
  If there are more orders than I have stock of boards, I will look at 
  having one last run of through-hole format boards made before 
  production switches entirely to SMT.

  Please note that ready-built P3 availability will be unaffected.

  Best regards,
