PAiA Electronics, Inc. P.O. Box 14359 Oklahoma City, OK 73113 Phone: (405) 843-9626 PAIA Electronics 3200 Teakwood Lane Edmund, Oklahoma 73013 (405) 340-6300 Just read Emusic-D, and a week or so ago I received in the post a new PAiA catalog. Now I know that PAiA seems to have a bad rap 'round here but, FYI - they have listed a number of CEM chips for all us DIY types. CEM 3310 ADSR CEM 3320 VCF CEM 3330 DUAL VCA CEM 3340 VCO CEM 3360 DUAL VCA CEM 3379 Voltage Controled Signal Processor (4 pole low pass VCF, VCA, 2 chan VC pan) CEM 5508 OCTAL SAMPLE and HOLD all come with data sheets Actually, interestingly enough, some of older Curtis chips are a few bucks less expensive from PAIA. Curtis is selling all their chips for $15.00, regardless of functionality, PAIA had some of the same chips for under 15.00. Regarding the Curtiss IC's, there are three possible sources in the US: PAIA (Oklahoma) - Synth Mail-Order outfit Wine Country (CA) - Sequential spare parts On-Chip Systems (CA) - Formerly Curtiss Electromusic (CEM) Doug Curtis On-Chip Systems 1190 Coleman Ave. San Jose, CA 95110 (408)988-5400 (On-Chip systems have data sheets for the following:) CEM3310 CEM3312 CEM3320 CEM3328 CEM3330 CEM3335 CEM3340 CEM3350 CEM3365 CEM3372 CEM3374 CEM3378 CEM3379 CEM3387 CEM3389 CEM3391 CEM3394 CEM3396 The distrubutor in Germany is: (for On-Chip systems) MICON Audio electronics GmbH Bremer Strasse 11 6236 Eschborn Tel: +/49-06196-46923 And Carter Scholtz informs me that Precision Monolithics Inc. are more complete dealers of SSM chips.
