Does anyone have any info regarding the Curtis Electro Music FM synth chip set? I believe it was used in later versions of the Prophet5 synth and is still used in the Cheetah MS6 I need to know if it is still available, who (preferrably in Europe) supplies them, how much, and where to get technical info re applications etc. Thanx in advance Dave Morning PS Post or e-mail are both fine by me.

I think that the Curtis chips may have later been replaced by SSM chips (or maybe it was the vice versa). Curtis' address is: Curtis Electromusic Specialties 2900 Mauricia Ave Santa Clara, CA 95051 I don't know if they are still distributed in the same form as the Prophet version, but Curtis still seems to put out new pro-audio chips. SSM can be found at: Solid State Microtechnology for Music 2076B Walsh Ave Santa Clara, CA 95050 Last I checked (a few years ago), their chips are still available. Anchor Electronics, next door on Walsh, distributes SSM parts. I don't have their address, but it is readily found on lots of electronic mags. -- Jim Hurley --> jimh@ultra.com ...!ames!ultra!jimh (408) 922-0100 Ultra Network Technologies / 101 Daggett Drive / San Jose CA 95134

It was the other way around. The older versions needed Special heat calibrated Tempco resistors for the oscillators to stay in tune after warm up. . . > > Curtis' address is: > Curtis Electromusic Specialties > 2900 Mauricia Ave > Santa Clara, CA 95051 > > I don't know if they are still distributed in the same form as > the Prophet version, but Curtis still seems to put out new > pro-audio chips. > > SSM can be found at: > Solid State Microtechnology for Music > 2076B Walsh Ave > Santa Clara, CA 95050 > You'd best call up a PMI (Precision Monolithics Inc.) rep for SSM parts, since PMI bought SSM a while back. You can't get old ones anymore, but they do have a nice selection of chips still (SSM/PMI) really. .. > Last I checked (a few years ago), their chips are still available. > Anchor Electronics, next door on Walsh, distributes SSM parts. > I don't have their address, but it is readily found on lots of > electronic mags. > -- > Jim Hurley --> jimh@ultra.com ...!ames!ultra!jimh (408) 922-0100 > Ultra Network Technologies / 101 Daggett Drive / San Jose CA 95134 If any body wants a synopsis of what SSM offers still as PMI, I'll post a list of part numbers to the net along with a basic desciption of each. . .
