Elby Designs AVR Synth 16 Review on modularsynth.ru

"The AVRSYN project was started by Polish experimentalist Jaroslaw Ziembicki in the year 2002 as the experiment of making a complete synth on single chip. I’d like to say that slavic people are talented with low-level programming and can get 250% efficiency from obsolete technologies. Initially, the synthesizer was built around 16-bit Atmel AT90S8535 MCU. In 2005—2006 project was continued by Paul Maddox and Laurie Biddulph. Eventually, they developed the PCB, the program code was ported to modern ATMEGA16-8 and the comments were translated to English. At the same time, Biddulph started to sell synthesizer as the Elby Designs product that is still available today.

The project was developed to number of forks like 32-version made by Daniel Kruszina. His version has extended functionality, partial MIDI-control and even the wavetables. This version is also available at Elby Designs. In 2010, James Grahame with a few friends and also, supported by the original developers, made a completely new project, that is called MeeBlip..."

This one sent in via the seller, rosynth. I opted to post this here instead of MATRIXSYNTH-B because it made me wonder how many synths out there have serial numbers that belonged to other synths.  It's kind of interesting when you think about it.
