Hi all

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

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!!!

Well, the money is always a problem...
Which Theremin are you doing ? How many money did it cost you ?

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

Wow, it is not too expensive !
Let me know when you have finish it, I wanna hear some sounds

I can't be bothered by building things myself... and I would end up with something completely different anyway...

LOL
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

I can. Definately

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

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

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

I saw one an old one at an auction a while ago... almost bought it, but nah... I think it was priced €50, but it was really worn...

Posted: **Sat Sep 23, 2006 9:43 am**

Hm, but to make one myself is impossible...
So I have to find a cheap MIDI CV converter

Posted: **Sat Sep 23, 2006 9:44 am**

And these are quite expensive...
