[sdiy]RE: [sdiy] Hi everybody / starting out

[rdrake]

one alternative would be the soundlab from musicfromouterspace:

http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/soundlab.html

this is just the bare PCB, not a full kit, so you have to source & buy the parts separately, build your own case, etc... on the plus side, i find it a much more versatle instrument when it's done, and much easier to modify and expand.
