Korg Mono/Poly

Yep. It is on hold. And I am not sure, whether I will continue.

I stopped it in November 2009, as I got a broken Polysix, which I tried 
to resurrect. I wanted to add individual switches for the VCO to the 
Polysix like in the MonoPoly. This way I would have had the same 
arpeggiator tricks with different VCO settings as with the MonoPoly. But 
then again, I had to sell the Polysix again, because I definitely ran 
out of "storage credit" by my girlfriend ;-) (I bought some other gear 
too the last years...).

Now the MonoPoly project has returned to my attention again, but I have 
only a little time for it. I have redesigned the pcbs for the quad 
envelopes (based on SSM2051's from a broken Poly61) in July, but no 
other progress happened since then until now (October).

As said I am not sure, whether I will finish this project, as planned. 
Maybe I will change the quad Envelope to a 3HE compatibel module. I 
bought also a prototype of the Doepfer Quad FilterVcaPanner 
http://www.doepfer.de/a1352.htm / http://www.doepfer.de/A1352.gif. So 
these two might be a good extension for the monopoly too.
