[sdiy] Hi everybody / starting out

[Jean-Pierre Martineau]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this group as well as to synthesizer building - sort of.  
I've made a software synthesizer (Substractive 3 oscillator per note  
with FM, Sync, ADRS, SWF and a few delay effects. Now I feel it's  
time to move to hardware synths. I've been wanting to do this for a  
while and now have a house and the space to do it.

I'll probably start out by building a PAIA Fatman to get my hands  
dirty. I've read on this mailing list's FAQ (http://www.oldcrows.net/ 
~patchell/sdiyfaq.html) that that's probably a good way to start out,  
but since the FAQ is unofficial and 3 years old and the answer might  
have changed since then, I'll still ask the question: What's the best  
kit for my first project?

Thanks,

Jean-Pierre Martineau
