If you can get everything worked out, I'd be in for a PCB or two as well. |

I'm interested in one or two as well, especially if it's a bare or mostly bare PC. I pretty much have all of the original parts in stock including the obsolete ones. (through hole, anyway ). |

Nothing from phdinfunk since February 18. I'm starting to think this project might not happen... |

I have to agree with sduck on this one... Doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. |

Not "not going to happen" but yes, going unfortunately slow.
I'm definitely still working on this one, still got a board on the bench, and still trying to make it happen. Am about to bring someone else (or two) into the project to help out our original duo because I want to get this finished sometime soon.
I don't know if you'd prefer to be kept abrest of things blow by blow or if you'd prefer to just hear a little here and there until I tell you it's done and ready for public consumption.

Definitely interested in this if it fits into a Buchla 200e boat. Thanks for taking the 259 on. |

Hope this happens, really interested in a board or two. |

Sounds interesting - should it really happen I'd be in for two boards. |

These boards are finally completed, calibrated, tested.
Here are some sound clips:
1) The basic sampling of those famous 259 sounds. I switch different kinds of modulation and change the frequencies of both oscs. I twist mod index and all the different settings on the wavefolder. There's nothing but the 259 and its raw output going on here.
At 4:17, I add cross synchronization. Of course, you could go on for days with all this. I decided to stop the clip and do some more organized sounds to give people an idea of what a 259 actually does.

2) There is a lot of confusion about what the Symmetry system does on this synth. Here you can hear the Symmetry Control go from all even harmonics, though a saw-ish waveform, to all odd harmonics. Many harmonically rich "plain" waveforms exist between these settings.
Order and Timbre at 100%
https://soundcloud.com/phdinfunk/symmetry-sweep-order-100
3) Timbre control at 100% so you can hear what "order" does. It fades from the plain waveform (Symmetry Control) to the wavefolded waveform. If you set Timbre at 0%, you are always getting a low harmonic waveform (sine). Check the panel of a music easel and you will see this labelled pretty well.
Order swept with Sym at 50 ("Saw" like) then at 100 ("odd") then at 0 ("even") then at 50 again.

4) This is the Timbre sweep of the raw waveform from Symmetry control. Very nice for simple synth sounds fading from a sine into a high harmonic waveform. So, with The wavefolder mix set to 0%, Timbre will simply sweep from a sine to a wave like a square or a wave like a saw. Again, see the music easel for a bit more clarity on this.
Sym 50 ("Saw" like) Sym 100 ("Odd") Sym 0 ("Even") and then Sym back to 50.

5) Symmetry is at 50% (Saw-like wave).
First sweep, order is "High" so you get the plain waveform. Second Sweep, order is at 50% so you get a mixture between the plain wave and the wavefolder. Third Sweep, Order is "low" so everything is wavefolder. So, order controls mix between raw clean waves and folded waves.
https://soundcloud.com/phdinfunk/timbre-sweep-with-wavefolder
I hope this clears up any confusion about what these controls actually do. I have seen a lot of odd theories throughout the years.
I believe that a lot of people want to hear some sequences and tweaking or EG applied to different parts, so I have a step sequencer on the way, and a very nice MIDI to CV as well. I should have those sounds up in a week or so.

You should PM me. I have some overrun.
I'm also phdinfunk everywhere in the world, including the world's most popular not-evil email service.

And bottom line, yes, they are expensive. I'm offering a few to DIYers here, just because my original intent was a DIY project for all. But at the end of the day, building them the way I have is not any cheaper for me than just building a completed synthesizer.
As a synth or module, it would be a great deal (compared to saaay, buying two triangle core oscs, a modulation VCA, and a waveshaper) but as DIY, it looks expensive. Though compared to boards plus parts kits for everything there, it's not so expensive.
I know someone else with a bare PCB project, if that's what you'd rather have, you can PM me and ask.
