Beginner Question

[David J. Greiner Jr.]

Greetings all,

     I have just become interested in building Synths (after using them for a couple of years) and would like some advice. I'm considering for my first project the synth described on the "E-music DIY Schematics archive" extracted from the R.A. Penfold book.  This interests me because the individual modules seem simple enough to build on their own.  I have electronics experience, but it's mostly been with kits so I don't want to build anything to extravagant for my first project.  

I'd like some input as to whether or not building this synth is a wise choice. Info like maybe the circuits have serious design flaws (something my inexperience would allow me to see?) Or maybe the synth just sounds like crap (nothing worse spending a couple of days building something that's just going to sit there...LoL.   Anyhow any info would be greatly appreciated.  'course, I haven't even checked availability of components yet...that could be a problem all in itself. Or maybe I'm just too pessimistic?    

   Sincerely,

   -David-
