Members mytee2.0 Posted February 4, 2005 Members Share Posted February 4, 2005 a doctorate in electrical engineering should do the trick. its not like buildling a guitar at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike51 Posted February 4, 2005 Members Share Posted February 4, 2005 I smell a thinly disguised ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Amos Posted February 5, 2005 Members Share Posted February 5, 2005 I dunno abour the ad (unless... never mind, if so I'm not fonna fall for it) But the point is, if you think building a modular synth is like putting together a guitar, then you are better off with an all-in-one, ready to play synth. Perhaps a trip to your local library for a book on the priciples of subtractive synthesis would help you to understand what modules you would even want to order/build in order to accomplish what you want.

Members milesdf Posted February 5, 2005 Members Share Posted February 5, 2005 Well, I am in the process of building a synth myself, and even with an Electrical Engineer father helping me and being an electronics/software hobbiest myself(in high school), the amount and complexity of information out there is pretty overwhelming. If you aren't at least somewhat skilled at this, and if you dont own some basic equiptment (o-scope, iron, tons of random salvaged electronics), give it up. If you think you can take it, look at http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/soundlab.html . This is the basis of my project, and you can get a pcb for it. And thats the easy part. You also need a cv controller or a midi to cv convertor. My midi to cv convertor (where i'm at right now) uses pretty advanced microcontroller stuff, so unless you have programming knowledge, thats out too.

Members piano39 Posted February 5, 2005 Members Share Posted February 5, 2005 hey milesdf, thanks for turning me on to the mini-synth. I built a PAIA synth in high school, now I want to do one again. That one looks pretty economical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members milesdf Posted February 6, 2005 Members Share Posted February 6, 2005 Your welcome, just be sure to do the fine tuning mod and add a power supply, batteries just aren't very cool. I should have my website about my midi to cv convertor up soon, I will post when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
