Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Originally posted by threaded View PostI had a go at that Formant Synthesizer, that was fun.
I was always building synths in my teens, and was in a rubbish band of hopeless teens that sounded like Kraftwerk on diazopan.
The Formant looked the dog's but sounded like rubbish mostly, but occasionally you'd get a brilliant, other-worldly noise out of it.
Sadly we didn't have samplers then!
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

PE in particular...
And the Practical Wireless "Telewriter"...
I did successfully build the PE UK101 kit computer though.
Despite the fact that most of the chips in the kit were mfr's rejects and needed to be replaced.

My music teacher said that if Mozart had had a 1KW PA, he would probably have tried to stun his audience rather than trying to impress then with the delicacy and whimsy of his compositions.

My design of a security camera switcher proved to have been designed in such a way that it worked with the CCTV cameras I had, & when one died, the replacement wouldn't work until I'd frigged about with the circuit a bit.
So far as I know, no one has built another system.
Just as well really.
