[[File:CGS photo jan 2002.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Ken Stone's synth as it was in Jan 2002]]
The CGS web page chronicled and supplied details of the construction of Ken's own modular synthesizer. The site itself was simply titled "Modular Synth". After other parties started referring to it as the "Catgirl Synth", Ken adopted the letters CGS as identifiers on his PCB designs.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030407200638/http://cgs.synth.net/ 1999], CGS - archived</ref><ref name="ks">Information provided by Ken Stone.</ref>
The web page first came online in
== Format ==
CGS is based around the [[4U]] format, with +/-15 volts supplied via [[MTA connector|0.156 4 pin MTA]] connectors and either [[Connectors|banana sockets or 3.5mm jacks]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.elby-designs.com/webtek/cgs/parts_faq.html |title=CGS parts FAQ |accessdate=2018-10-07 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105181508/http://www.elby-designs.com/webtek/cgs/parts_faq.html |archivedate=2016-11-05 |

These designs are for advanced builders and experimenters. They have been built and they have worked satisfactorily. Obviously only very few from the the variety of available component brands have been tried in each design. This is Ken's hobby and he has shared what he has done with other interested parties.<ref name="help">''[https://web.archive.org/web/20170420052751/http://www.cgs.synth.net/help.html Please read this before attempting to build anything from these pages.]''
