Cyndustries Sawtooth Animator

2007-12-29 by legravin

Has anyone on the list ordered and/or received a Sawtooth Animator from Cyndustries? I'm thinking about getting one but wanted to see if anyone else has experience with it. I also must admit I'm a little reluctant to order one considering the delays that happened with the Zerosci

A Commodore SX64 would be a much better modular fit : ) If I ever do it, which I currently doubt, it would at least be interesting since it has "built-in": audio input cv mod available via software and joystick interfaces But I'm sure I'll probably just end up frying a couple...

Yes, that mini in a modular thing looked really cool about 4 years ago. The problem I'd have with it is that it's guaranteed to become obsolete long before the rest of your synth. And it doesn't really DO anything that can't be accomplished with a good midi to cv converter, so yo
