Analogue Systems to Doepfer Reverse Adaptor

via Tone's Analog Synthesizer Projects and Products

"Here is the prototype of the variant Analogue Systems to Doepfer Adaptor that I promised a few days back. The production version will be a few days away - still waiting on PCB mount header sockets. The prototype uses a 16 way DIL IC socket on one side and a cut-down version of a PCB mount header socket on the other side; it's a bit rough but demonstrates the principle - which is it allows you to use Analogue Systems modules in a Doepfer rack but using the Analogue Systems ribbon cable - so just the adapter is needed."

Local Cambridge UK Synth Meets

via Neil posted on the SDIY list (posted here with permission):

"After some thoughts over Christmas and some local prodding I'm having a go at starting up a local synth society here in Cambridge. Aim is to have regular monthly meets in a local pub to chat about synths.

Who: Cambridge Electronic Music Society
Where: Castle Inn, Castle Street, Cambridge
When: 7:30pm, Tuesday 8th February (and 2nd Tuesday every month after that)

We have a group on google for online chat, announcements, etc:

http://groups.google.com/group/cemsoc

Anyone in/around Cambridge is very welcome to join and to come along (although at the moment there's nothing to do to join other than turn up).
Not sure how the first meeting will go - I have some ideas, but I guess we could discuss them over a pint!
And we'll be joined by the local SuperCollider user group for added synthiness.

Cheers,
Neil"
