[sdiy] Starting Point?

[Jason Proctor]

I initially got started with an MOTM-380 kit from Paul Schreiber's
synthtech.com (with significant help from my friend Charles Stella).
Paul's module design notes and build help are exemplary - Paul will
call you and give you soldering help over the phone if he thinks you
are stuck! Apparently synthcube now carry PCBs and I assume that Paul
still provides the module docs?

But I think I got most of what little circuit and build knowledge that
I have from Ken Stone's website cgs.synth.net. I built a ton of CGS
stuff into 5U panels back in the day. He was most helpful. I think CGS
PCBs are carried by Elby.

Not to take anything away from Ray (RIP) and Music from Outer Space. A
priceless resource indeed.

I would like to know what's a good place to start to learn. I would also like to be able to analyze my circuits and be able to understand why they behave the way they do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
