Via the seller: "I was recently clearing out some BBC Micro stuff and came across this Clef PDSG (Programmable Digital Sound Generator). It was the last product made by Clef. They hoped it would be taken up by Acorn computers, but it didn't happen, and I think they went out of business after that. It was supplied pretty much as seen, as a DIY project. I initially couldn't find any mention of it online, so I've put up a page to commemorate it here, with pictures and sound samples:

There's some information about it here:

"In 1982 the company introduced the product it is best known for these days in the form of the Clef Microsynth (Later the B30 Microsynth), a budget 2 oscillator analogue subtractive synthesiser that was the only product sold by the company that was not developed by Mr. Boothman but rather a design originally published in P.E. magazine as a construction article and conceived by Allan Bradford, it is similar conceptually to the slightly more complex Jen SX-1000 and EDP Wasp in that it uses digital electronics to keep down costs but with it come some operational oddities such as the use of a 0.35V/Octave control voltages meaning that the only other synth that it interfaced with was the EMS, but it was cheap and thus sold reasonably well.

"The Muse was designed by two famed MIT professors, Marvin Minsky and Edward Fredkin The circa 1972 Triadex Muse was the first digital musical sequencer based synthesizer composition tool and deterministic algorithmic event generator. It used early digital integrated logic circuits to generate an audio output that produces a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters."

Work by Customsynth

All sliders are new. These are Lumina LED sliders as you can see.

PSU has been serviced

Horrible mains cable out the rear has been replaced with a better, safer, and neater IEC socket.

CV/Gate/VCF sockets on the rear for MIDI-CV converter control (converter not provided!)

All working well, only minor issue is PPC range is very small, and one non-original slide switch (which works fine so don't worry)"
