From the project
Knock-off of the Elektor Formant Synthesizer project with the initial goal of being quasi-authentic and secondary goal undecided. Probably tweaks of some kind.
- Add external gate input. This is normalized and will disconnect any existing internal gate bus assignment. - Added jumper to completly disable the external gate path. With the jumper in place the gate I/O functions the same as the original design.
