[sdiy] First DIY synth

[Sitruuna Melissa]

I hope this gets through, anyway hi Tim! I just started to build this lo-fied synth packed with 9v batteries. I got these unbelieavably cool looking metal boxes from my office that are filled with holes(little too small for pots and jacks, but along comes drill), and I gave this project a kick by starting to build a VCO and noise source. I had to stop cos it was late and I mount the jacks first and then connect them to the component board. It´s going to be a modular system, only god knows what´s gonna be in there, LFO´s, Mixer patches, Filters, FX, etc..The VCO is straight from the datasheet of 4151 V/F converter chip(works as F/V too) and noise is quite typical discrete thing. And I try to stay discrete and 9voltified through the whole mess. I´ll post some scratch schems on my page soon.
