< I still have one prototyped at home... it allowed up to 9 voices
< (three voices/chip, 3 chips) of sound, and 3 voices of percussion.
I happen to have the DEC internal card for the Q-bus Ey-0105E-ms-101
(AKA Gigilo), uses two GI-AY-3-8912 sound chips. I also have some of the
PDP-11 software to drive it.
I don't have a schematic for it or the specs for the sound chips however I
do have a few sources for the music play software (asm a upower pascal).
I also have the honor of meeting Carlos in an old wherehouse and sound
lab on Long Island back in 1973 when the company I was with was moving
in to the facility. There was some amazing old junk left behind like
old audio power amps with 807s and 813s... It was just down the block
from SUNY farmingdale.

You mentioned Wendy (?) Carlos in a previous msg. Was this a slip or was
this the wife of the well-known synthesiser-master Walter Carlos who did
the sound-track for "Clock-Work Orange " ?
Somewhat more back on topic , Megan let slip that you designed an interface
for the "Mark 11". Would it a major undertaking to build an A-D converter to
take the VCO off an analogue synth and convert it to MIDI or to sample or
record it ?
And my ST is over 10 years old !! : ^ ))

Err, umm, they're both the same person. Wendy started out as Walter.

Uh, Walter and Wendy are the same person. The last album done by
Walter was "Sonic Seasonings" (magnificent, IMAO), done during the
reclusive period mandated by the trans-gendering process. Wendy's
first release was the soundtrack to "Tron".

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Allison,
When you met Carlos, was he still Walter or was she Wendy? I have both
copies of Switched-on Bach and I always found it interesting that the liner
notes for the later version had been completely rewritten to eliminate all
references to the male gender.
