[sdiy] first synth?

[patchell]

    There are several I could suggest.  At the low end, the Paia 9700s
(http://www.paia.com) seems like a good choice.  The kit seems pretty
nice (I am still working on mine...just not enough time to do everything
these days).  And if you think the 9700 is a bit too much, the fatman is
even simpler.  At the high end, there are the MOTM modules, and while I
am far too cheap to buy any, I don't think you will find higher quality
(http://www.synthtech.com/).  And, while they don't make synth kits,
http://www.blacet.com/ make some really nice modules.

    There are others as well.  TomG (and there is quite a thread about
him today), makes some very nice boards you can populate yourself, or
get the parts from him.  These are another option as well.

    And if you live in .....Naw...I won't get that one started again :-)
