<rant on> Something to think about. You can buy the devices for about $200.00, you can mount them in a panel with a little labor and some sheet metal. You WON'T have a CV controlled module, simply something that is mounted with the rest of your synth. Cynthia spent significant time circuit bending these devices so that they could be PART OF your synth instead of a place holder in the panel. So while you can save bucks, you probably CAN'T make the same thing that Cyndustries is selling! There was quite a 'lively' discussion on this and some think that the Cyndustries modules are a rip off. If you don't want a module, or you think her price is a rip off, then don't buy her module. But unless you have done what she has done, and are selling to the very small nitch market she has addressed, it does not make sense to knock her prices. Like the others in this comparatively small market, she charges what she must to make a profit based on her time investment and her materials costs. She sell to a market that has more Do-It-Yourself types then probably any market other then ham gear, and that is a much bigger market. We should thank the Cynthia's, Roger's, Paul's, and John's that make complete modules that we can use to make the wonderful systems to play with! Then save up for that 'overpriced' module you really, REALLY want, and hope they are still selling it when you finally get the bucks together. I know that's how I've gotten my DocCom, MOTM, and Blacet modules... </rant off> Larry T. p.s. I have NO affiliation with any of these manufacturers, only a desire to see them succeed so that I can buy the modules I want (like Cyndustries Milton sequencer with 1/4" jacks)!
