PolyMiK breadboard synth

I started this project last weekend and i think this will be the synth with the shortest development time i ever made :)

Okay, in fact, much of the design was heavily inspired by the Korg Trident and the AAC Tiracon 6V, i just added sub oscillators, ring modulator, and some of the surrounding electronics. The firmware later will add a lot of power with several LFOs, multi-stage envelopes (thinking of 8 stages), microtuning and we'll see what more ideas i add into this.

I'll try to use an AVR to control this, but if it's not powerful enough, it will get an AT91SAM7S for this - like the one i use to control it currently.

The (nearly) complete 1-voice version of the synth is built on the breadboard, controlled serially by just 5 wires from the computer board, which of course will be on the main synth PCB also later.

Need to add the offset correction trimpots now, check if it's possible to do a fine calibration, then i think i will etch some voice boards to clean up the breadboard.

@Desmaad Nope. Too much bureaucracy in Germany to get this done besides a regular job. Current time even doesn't allow to tell when there will be a first prototype. At least i hope i get this done within the remaining time of my life :)
