me too, becuase I want a UNIQUE sounding poly synth
http://www.wavesynth.com/modulus/polywave/
Its well underway..

I do intend to sell mine...

but this IS a synthDIY list, we could all buy modulars/monos but we choose
to build them (hey wonder if we all
have the same Gene defficincy?)

I will be spending hopefully less than that on mine...
It WILL have display, scanned knobs, patchs and be 19" cased. and also plug
straight into any midi keyboard/seq you have.
the MOST expensive parts are the CASE and the PCBs
The case has costs me about 80quid (including sexy schaeffer panel) .
the PCBs will cost me about  200quid (approx)
the rest are standard parts..

but DIY synth building has never been cheap, nor easy... thats why I enjoy
it?
