Hehe.. I don't really know it inside out :) But Margus actually does.
Anyway, just look inside it. There's nothing in the M1000 almost except the CEM3396:es and a CPU+DAC+ROM+RAM :)
Anyway, I think the learning process is a good goal in itself!
I hope you just have better self discipline and perseverance than I do with my projects ;)
Good luck!
BR,
Peter

so the question is: can one really faithfully emulate the 3396 chip? and is it worth it?
I think for me the (learning) path may be worth even more than the goal.
I dont' see why one couldn't simulate analog gear perfectly in software... if given _infinite_ time to study the system and experiment :) But mathematical perfection is not required, it's sufficient being close enough to fool the 7 billion pair of ears on earth :-D So another question for me is how close I can get in a reasonable amount of itime. No idea, yet, but lots of curiosity about how my synths work.
