1: Lm13700, TL074 (72, 71), V2164D, 2n5457, Lm311, CD40106, 4017....

2: Just look into synth circuits. Some good resources are www.yusynth.com
and www.musicfromouterspace.com

3: line level = +/- 2v. Instrument level is high impedance, very low
voltages (same as mic/electric guitar). Synth Audio and CV levels can have
form 10 to 20 v swing.  Audio is bipolar (+/-5v up to +/-10v). CV can be
bipolar or positive only (+/-5v, +/-10v, 0 to 10v)

4: depending on which circuits you are building, you will need either 12v
bipolar or 15v bipolar. Power will depend on how many and which modules you
are powering.

5: I've mentioned yusynth and MFOS, others on the list will surely mention
Electronotes, Oakley, Cat Girl Synth and others. The Facebook Synth DiY
group is great too.
My youtube channel might be interesting as well:

6: you will become addicted


Cheers

Quincas
