again, i'm doing my own version of the sid2sid board. It was purely designed/laid out. So i will make it better and easily obtainable to the masses.. And if it gets more people into running messiah/prophet64, then that's a good thing!
Just need to find time to get to that. i'm starting to clear my work space off for setting up my pcb designing PC again so hopefully in the next month or two.

Do you lust on anything Korg?$15 bucks? Try $30 to $50 depending on whether or not you have friends in jp.
Correction:
Costs $30-50, sounds like it cost $10-15
har har

yes, i do.. Korg MS-20, and my Korg Monopoly. :-D

LOL!
p.s. George, Kezzie and Logan are friends, I think she can take it.
i've seen kezzie 1/2 naked... or something.. she can take it..
hell.. she's seen me 1/2 naked.. she can definitely take it! hahaha
Logan...there would be a way of wording that and still be welcoming, no?
Oh yeah.. i forgot..
Welcome Kezzie!
lol
seems like it might be rather limited in terms of sounds it can create.
asdr?
oscillators for different wave forms?
again.. that's TBD until we see what's under the hood. :-D
I think the best approach to it as of right now is to view it as a pocket sized $100 MS-20 LP filter. :-D
I've been away for a while, and a little out of date on new artists and stuff that has happened.
So I would like to know what's gone on over the past year?
The make ups, the break ups, who are the haters, who are the techno-ers, who are the crazy skilled 14 year olds who everyone thinks are out of their age league?
Especially music wise, who is the next big thing, who has had their 15minutes and is Nezar still alive?NB. This is not just a personal thread, this is for anyone who finds themselves on these forums and feels they are a little outdated on the "scene" (OOH CONTROVERSIARY).
Seems you've been gone long enough to not realize that threads like this were left at 8bc.
It looks like the Gakken SX150 but less hackable and more expensive.
Piece of shit!
the Gakken is a piece of shit.. it's a crappy plastic cased, little crap sound generator. cool for a first time builder.. but as a usable
good sounding synth.. hell no.. now. if this Monotron is in fact the MS-10/20 filter, then it's worth it just for the filter. Those filters were kick ass.
I'm 98% positive it's SMT, but it's still hackable, you just have to know what you're doing to hack it. no biggy 
haha
as for the price... depends on how you look at it..
As a stock usable musical synthesizer... it's a waist of money. As a great sounding ms-20, pocket sized filter, it's a great deal.
And for those who know a little on how electronics work this thing is a fun little toy to hack for the money,
And for those who know more than they should about electronics.... it's probably more $$ than what it's worth if you start adding up the parts needed to make it. hahaha
anyways. it will be interesting to see what's under it's hood. i'lll document it as much as possible once i get my hands on one.
HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS SMALL.... A REHOUSING JOB IS A MUST IF IT GETS HACKED.
Now to go and buy one.
yeah. i'd add CV/Gate input for the VCO, CV LFO, and CV VCF... hell.. i'll just rehouse the damn thing and make it as modular as possible. :-D
Only problem is i bet it's surface mount. Which makes for great fun when modifying.
I'll pick one up when it's available.
is it midi ready?... after looking. nope.
what is it with companies making these toys as of late? have musicianship really gone that far down the tubes?
People will literally buy this for the VCF and use it as a cheap MS-20 style filter box. haha
ah well.
i'll still buy one cuz i'm a sucker for opening things up and messing with it.
and at $69-100 i wont feel bad if i destroy it.
The ribbon controller aspect yields good news for hackers.. as thats a resistor network based method of controlling pitch, which makes for easy addition of CV or just for rehousing and making a simple resistor latter network for a keyboard.
kinda nice to see the two versions side by side... lol you can really see the build quality differences.
God... i'm having 8bc flashbacks already..
seriously wtf...
you should put the original firestarter lsdmc2's on ebay... they will sell for more than 200. i dont know why... but they will.
Rockin! Your modular synth is indeed a beast.
i consider it a small rodent at the moment.
nothing is really up and running.. but lots of modules in the works. :-D
i'll need another cabinet soon.
SOOON!!! it shall be a BEAST!!!
mmmm progress. :-D
MFOS 16 Step Sequencer Prototype underway!
I needed to build up an MFOS 16 step CV Sequencer to work on my Gate/Trigger Expander board for it...
I've been waiting for Bridechamber.com to carry Thomas White's panel design for the sequencer but i need to build this one quick.
So i got some Black Acrylic and started knocking out the panel wiring. I will have a wooden enclosure build so that it will eventually look like this:
1-8 Step panel
Black Acrylic cut to size
Holes machined into panel
Parts mounted to check spacing
LED's are slightly off center.. meh. oh well. thats what i get for only taking an hour to center punch the holes and drill them out w/ a stepper bit. :-D
labels applied, and i've begun mounting parts
Woohoo!!!! :-D
Thanks Matthew!!!
