 This is a page for collecting ideas on how to build a synth based on the Curtis Electromusic Specialties CEM3396 IC chip, controlled via PIC of course. This chip is for example used in the Oberheim Matrix-1000 synth. It is out of production, but can be found at [[http://​search.ebay.com/​search/​search.dll?​from=R40&​satitle=cem3396|ebay]] from time to time. This is a page for collecting ideas on how to build a synth based on the Curtis Electromusic Specialties CEM3396 IC chip, controlled via PIC of course.

He also is in the process of rewriting a firmware for the module from scratch; and may have already made some progress... ​This might be someone worth talking to on furthering the MIOS effort to utilise the CEM3396; he could have plenty of insight to offer. ​He's selling ​CEM3396's on his webshop too.
