I found my boards!!! !HUZZAH! Subject description: v 1.22 PCBs were missing, presumed dead |

Long ago in 11/07 I bought *two* sets of Klee PCBs. They arrived when I was just moving between my mother-in-law's house and my own. They arrived, I saw them for a week or so, and then it occured to me that I never saw them again - until this morning! Over the months I really did turn my basement workshop upside-down, and look all over the house for these. After a long time I resigned myself to their loss, as my MIL has a funny habit of discasrding anything which she can't easily identify.
This has been fine, I have too many PCBs to deal with around here now anyway. And I very nearly bought a new set a few weeks ago. It so happened that I was looking for some old software this morning and was astonished to see my packet of Klee boards in a box of Dr. T's music software! (KCS/Omega is another brilliantly unconventional sequencer!)
So now I need to find my build documents here, and ponder how these 1.22 boards differ from the current ones. Too psyched! |

I loved Dr T's KCS Omega. I wrote a lot of stuff on the Atari ST. It didn't all translate well in the midi file port to Performer. KCS Omega and Tunesmith were staples for me about 15 years ago. Glad to see other people were fans on Dr T. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

I am a huge fan of Dr. T. It was only about five years ago that I bought my first Atari, a Falcon030 which I love. Unfortunately I hadn't been able to get Tunesmith to run on there - about 95% ot ST programs will run on an 030. I've got several versions of KCS, X-Or, T-Basic, Tiger, as well as lots of editors and other things. Basically I got into Ataris just so I could run these. Their software was so musical and forward thinking that it was absurd.
I was lucky that the Dr himself, Emile Tobenfeld, VJed at an event where I performed in about 2000. I didn't get a chance to talk with him other than to say "hi". He also happens to be an interesting photographer, as demonstrated by his self-assembled visual materials. |

Looks like the PCBs are the same. But the documentation now far surpasses the zip archive I downloaded in 2007! Scott, this is the most comprehensive information about any synth project I have ever seen. Your efforts are very much appreciated! |

Glad to see you found your boards! I recall losing one PCB project board I'd ordered - it had accidentally made its way to the county landfill  _________________ My Site |
