Hi all :D

Yeah, I know, I created a thread in which I speak about the fact I'll make a Modluar, but before to make a modular, I would like to begin with something less hard.
That's why I decided to make a MusicFromOuterSpace MiniSynth.
I'll add a 32x1 or 16x2 sequencer and take all that with a keyboard on a DIY case.

A lot of work, but easier and faster than a modular, I'll have fun :P
I'll begin by the MiniSynth I'll buy on www.elby-designs.com because they sell a kit with all the components.
Then I'll make the sequencer, duno where I'll buy it, maybe from MFOS.
And then I'll make a CV master keyboard OR I'll buy a simple MIDI keyboard and a MIDI to CV ;)

I'll let you know but I have to find some money before ;):P

Regards,
Nicolas

Yes, money, that's mostly the problem. I'm building still a theremin. I have most of the components, only not the special paper for etching the pc-board. And that's expensive!!!

The "ultimate 2" It costs about 55 euro's. And you need things like a soldering braid etc.

But fo sho you can't begin to make a modular and finish with a microwave oven, especially if it is a kit from the website I wrote on my first post :P

If you have not all the components to make it, you won't :P

Anyway, on topic : does a cheap CV master keyboard exist ? :mrgreen:

The Soundlab is great for basses. I need a MIDI-CV and then I'll have a great little analog bass synth.
