Vintage Synth Repair

Well, John (Blacet) added a couple of extra inputs to his older Dark 
Star design, but it's not designed to be as much of a "voice" or 
sound module as it is a stand alone sort of entity.
It *can* be controlled by some external source, but it's mostly it's own thing.

>>  You might consider building a Blacet Dark Star.
>>  It uses the same IC that made game sounds in many old video games and
>>  pinballs.
>>  Lotsa fun.

>>>  Hello Everyone,
>>>
>>>  I thought it would be a cool project to try and build my own synth
>>>  or drummachine or vocoder.  Something on the lower end of the
>>>  "difficulty" spectrum -- something that I can start off with -- know
>>>  what I mean?  Novice type of stuff.
>>>
>>>  Ideally I want to build something that will give me some classic
>>>  video game sounds.  Something like the old "CASIO VL-Tone."  I
>>>  also like the sounds in the old (classic) NINTENDO Gameboy.
>>>  So,  I purchased the NANOLOOP, but my eyes can't really handle
>>>  the small screen of the gameboy -- I would prefer to use a synth
>>>  with knobs.  Is there a way to buy the same type of sound board
>>>  that's used in the GAMEBOYS -- and use that in some sort of
>>>  synth construction kit?
>>>
>>>  Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find these sort
>>>  of   "do-it-yourself"  kits?   I know I've come across these sort of
>>>  things before [PAiA], but I never paid much attention to them
>>>  before.   Now I really want a project like this.
>>>
>>>  Please send me URL's or links to PDF files so that I can find the
>>>  right project for me.  Thanks in advance.
>>>
>>>  Lastly, if  you've ever made your own gear, plese tell me all the
>>>  tiny details from begining to end -- I'd totally love to hear your
>>>  stories.  Thanks again!
>>>
>>>  All right, later.
