[sdiy] its alive! its alive!

ahhh so i was wrong!  yes, more reading and research
is a requirement, so i will do more searching with the
google man.  i found a few of the sites everyone
listed, but in the spirit of excitement i must have
forgotten to bookmark, they were filed. 

yes i went to a shitty vocational school with a bunch
of troubled teens intoxicated on contact cleaner, but
i did learn how to troubleshoot tv's, vcr's, and
amplifiers. :) ohh those were the days.  NOTE: i am
basically starting from scratch here, i am no ee.  

as for the comments about the starting with the asm-1,
you have a good point. i have been thinking alot about
this.  initially i wanted to go straight for the MOTM
series...but i came down to earth, and realized that,
yeah, i could put together some simpler MOTM modules,
however i think a smaller kit would be ideal.  putting
an asm-1 together from scratch initially would be the
steep learning experience, similar to a frying pan to
the head.  i dont want to get in over my head
initially and then get discouraged.  perhaps the paia
fatman, and a vocoder to start with.  then i dont know
where to go from there. dont want to think too far
into the future, and not get some easier work under my
belt (and hey what can a few more synthesizers in the
studio hurt???).  just want to go simple with an
included pcb, perhaps get creative with the front
panel, or case.  
down the line i would like to etch pcbs, but need to
slowly  build here on up.  maybe i will have a fatman
modfreaked in 2 monthes, and have a asm-1 built in the
next 6 monthes (hahaha) we'll see how it goes.  i
consider myself a musician at heart, so the question
is how deep am i willing to go... will i be the next
synthesizer diy addict? 

thanks very much for the responses. the vibe here is
great, and im glad to be a part of the list.
