[sdiy] First DIY synth

[Passive Matrix]

I wanted to build a bear bones system for more of a learning experience then 
anything else.  I planed to build the VCO and ADSR from simple circuts I 
found based around 555 timer chips and I was going to use CEM chips for any 
or all of the VCA,VCF and LFO (if I included one). I would use batterys in 
lue of a powersupply.  My father is an EE, but i am just a teen.  He agreed 
to help me build this project.  I am new to analog DIY but not to sound in 
general.  I have a prophecy and love making sounds. I decided to ask anyone 
if they had any advice for this project and if anyone had some spare CEMs 
they might want to sell to me ( I know where to get them, but a person to 
person would be more ideal in my situation).  I would build something like a 
fatman but, even though this is very simple I want it to be somewhat 
origional, if you know what i mean.  Thanks in advance.
