Novachord Restoration Project:
The first commercially available synthesizer was designed by the Hammond Organ Company in 1938 and put into full production from 1938 to 1942. The Novachord is a gargantuan, all tube, 72 note polyphonic synthesizer with oscillators, filters, VCAs, envelope generators and even frequency dividers.
If you are skeptical about the Novachord being a true synthesizer, check out the sound clips near the bottom of the page.
I bought my Hammond Novachord around 10/2004 in Connecticut. After chatting with the few brave souls who tried to repair these beasts, I soon realized that replacement of all the passive components was necessary for reliable and stable operation of any Novachord. However, the sheer number of components and it's complexity, make properly restoring a Novachord a Herculean task.

Das Roland-Museum ist eine Privat-Initiative, um den Erfindungsreichtum des innovativen japanischen Herstellers zu dokumentieren. Die Dokmentation umfasst dabei nicht nur die Beschreibung von Artikeln, sondern auch den reellen Besitz der Geräte. Das Roland-Museum muss sich allerdings bei der Anschaffung auf eine Auswahl an Geräten beschränken, und setzt die Schwerpunkte auf Roland-Effektgeräte, Sampler, Rhythmusgeräte und natürlich Synthesizer. Diese Einschränkung gilt aber nur für den Besitz der Geräte. Bei den Auflistungen werden tunlichst alle je hergestellten Roland-Geräte erwähnt.

MIDI expander with old ISA-BUS soundcard
http://www.uelectronics.info/midi-expander-old-isabus-soundcard

:: MIDI expander with old ISA-BUS soundcard ::
MIDI expander with old ISA-BUS soundcard.
Based on micro PIC18F4320, this circuit makes possible to realize a small MIDI expander using an old ISA-BUS soundcard. Tested on 2 different cards, it should work for any card ADLIB OPL3 compatible (the I/O address MUST be 0x388). The software (in this first release) responds to MIDI commands on Channel 1. The sounds are generated by the FM synthesizer built in the soundcard.

The AVR SYNTH
The AVR SYNTH is a monophonic "virtual analog" synth based, originally, on the Atmel AT90S8535 microcontroller and was designed by Jarek Ziembicki. His aim was to check to see if a simple micro could be used for sound synthesis purposes. And the result? The AT90S8535 managed to do all the tasks: front panel switches and pots services, receiving and processing MIDI messages, and sound generation! - The synthesis architecture is simple: two DCO's, a DCF, and a DCA. There is also an LFO and an AR/ASR envelope generator.
