SpeedRacer	Re: John Simonton I remember his articles from RE & PE, and I often found myself drooling over PAiA kits that while priced nicely were just out of my budget at the time. I still have my MK50240 top-octave divider chip that was going to be the heart of my synth "someday".. One of the first things I ever built was Craig Andertons "super tone control" - made from a kit from PAiA (IIRC). (My very first was a synth made using dc motors as tone generators.. stone knives and bear skins!) I learned a ton about how things could be done from his writings. Although the news was not what anyone would have wanted, thanks for posting that. It's nice to reflect. Amazing the difference one person can make..
