Yep, that'll be my first electronical creation....
But instead of the master keyboard, can't I take a "shoke" button or "attack" button ?

Yeah, that is possible.

But don't ask me how, cause as I said, if I start soldering, I'll end up with a microwave...

If you want to make music with a microwave.....
You said that because you are a master in electronic or because you are a noob ?

And in addition: "Easy" in no way, even it "looks" easy. If you never soldered something by yourself, i´m sure you will get many problems. But if you do it -slow-, then -maybe-. And don´t forget: The best Synthesizer doesn´t work without a Master Keyboard (Doepfer: 110€ for a Midi to CV interface including PSU),

I only look for an easier VCS3 !! With one VCO, one LFO and a filter, dunnow if it is hard but it is enough for effects (I think )

Of course you can take a simple button and feed it with some volts. but, forgive me the question: Would you only build it to generate sweep sounds?!? Bcause i think that -more- isn´t possible with this Synth when using a single trigger.

Yes, I'll use it for effects, like the VCS3 and Synthi A

IMO, your best option is to go with this:

You can buy the PCB from Ray Wilson, and this will save you a lot of hassle. It is then easier to work with because you can see where all the components go. I will add the last two ICs this morning, and hopefully, it will be working.

[Nico_Noyau]

Ah, we come back to this synth, it seems to be pretty amazing
And they say 30$ for the PCB plus 30-60$ for parts.

And just one question, do you use a Master Keyboard CV Gate or something ?

[Jakob BC]

You will find a button to trigger the sound on both the Synthi A and VCS-3 so you will need a triggerbutton like this if you won't use a keyboard.

[Nico_Noyau]

Does the Mini-Synth have a trigger button (I didn't find it )

edit :

So now, I have to look for prices of master keyboards CV and/or sequencers and I'm sure my father will help me to make one

Here is an octave keyboard, very easy to assemble, you'll just have to find a way of getting the PCB. Stylus design is at the bottom of the page BTW.
Here is Ray Wilson's sequencer. This is MUCH harder to assemble, but if you're planning on getting a modular, this will prove more useful in the long run.
Me? I'm starting with the keyboard, but then it'll be sequencer all the way.
