German modular dudes Curetronic sell a PCB which is a clone of the 100m 121 VCF. i have the PCB but i've not built it up yet, and although my music college had a 100m, it's been 20 years and i don't remember what it sounded like. however given that the VCF is about 80% of the sound of a synth, having a clone of this one should get you most of the way. http://www.curetronic.com or email Matthias at xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx for more details. hth >http://www.oakleysound.com/cota.htm > >More 700 rather than 100M. > >Of course, its not identical - but then I wonder if one was to put a >load of Oakley modules inside an empty 700 chassis, wire them up >accordingly, and then give them out to unknowing folk to see what >they would think.... > >Perhaps it has a lot more to do with looks and feel rather than sound. > >You could also add the question why does one want that particular >Roland (or whoever) sound?
