[sdiy] hello, I'm back.

[Brad Apodaca]

Well after a bit a kit mishap, lack of time, and financial difficulties, I'm 
back! Whoo Hoo! Ready to get going and get learning. I ordered a PAIA  kit 
from the Craig Anderton book, should be here in a few days. I figure I'll 
put that together on a breadboard first, to test my signal flow chops, and 
then try it for real. I'll probably make a couple of FX with increasing 
difficulty before moving on to bigger and better things. Here it comes, 
you've seen it before, deep down you feared it cuz' you know soo much it's 
hard not to answer. What synth should I build? Ahhhhhh! Nooooo! The dreaded 
newbie question. I've been listening to a bunch of late 70's early 80's 
stuff, mainly Kraftwerk, Mute records and Numan. My goal is pretty simple, I 
think. I want  to make an entire song using one synth. Drums, leads, bass, 
you name it. I want MIDI so i can hook it up the computer. A couple of 
filter types, maybe some ringmod. Not too many bell and whistles though. I 
want to be forced to be creative, if that makes sense, by having some 
limitations. Any suggestions, so I can start saving up? A kit would be cool, 
but I would be willing to find the parts too. I don't have the "mad skillz" 
to make PCB yet.
Thanks
Brad
