[elektron] Re: Sidstation's power supply?

2003-12-19 by endlessnessisticman

Hey Denis, can you point me in the right direction for DIY.  I have 
built a Paia fatman and I'm interested in building more.  I'm 
looking for some simple effects boxes and synth kits (also mods).  
I've gotten tired of VAs and the like.  Not to say that Elektron 
isn't making any run of the mill DSP innovation.  I have quite a few 
links.  Just wondering if you know something I don't (like before).
