Or you built your own midi-cv! Or, what you can try, buy a loose Fatar keyboard, and try to make a cv-keyboard of that.

Yeah, I think I'll buy the MIDI CV myself, but I need to program the IC and I dunnow how to do that (and I need a lot of material...)

The better way is to find a CV Master Keyboard, I'll try to find some websites ;)

I'm going to go with the Doepfer MCV4, it's at least £20 cheaper than buying kits

What do you think of that : http://getbent.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=168702 ?
90$ +P&P is less expensive than to buy it from Elby-design !!

The MCV4 costs 105€ +P&P, it is expensiiiiive !!!!

Nah, I won't do it. You should better search for good schematics of a real modular synth, and order the components on at radioshack or something else.

Yeah, but I think that to begin with a modular is a bit hard, I never DIY before.
But anyway, I want since a lot of time a MiniSynth, I love what it can do.
Then, I will DIY many effects I'll take in a cabinet, then I'll add some LFO and so on, and I'll have a modular with many effects and a MiniSynth :P

Yes, that does look quite good actually, I'd probably go with that now I know how much my parts cost from Maplins.
The MCV4 costs 105€ +P&P, it is expensiiiiive !!!!
But building the MIDI-CV kit from Elby Designs is even more expensiiiiiiiiive !!!!

Well, I will buy some modules from Doepfer if one day they are less expensive ;)

I'll go on with the 90$ kit and the PCB from MFOS as soon as I have the money, maybe in less than one month so, I think ;)
