[sdiy] Buchla 295 10-band comb filter topology

So in ref to the numerous comments concerning the physics aspect of electronic music & my having an online article some yrs ago that the late Robert Moog prefered to hire someone who had a degree in physics, could someone tell me why physics would be such an important factor when it comes to designing & actually using one's tested & working self-designed electronic music circuits for market sales in quantities, hopefully, to the general public ?

I'm a self-proclaimed hobbyist & amateur electronic musician having taught myself basic electronics in the early 1970s & was lucky enough to have a neighbor who was an electronics technician working at the then Westinghouse here in Baltimore which I think is now Northrop Grumman. I didn't go to electronics school until 1996. I was the only kid in the block who had an interest in electronics when I saw a MiniMoog & an ARP Soloist in a January 1974 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine & still have that original magazine https://books.google.com/books?id=TtQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA126&dq=moog+synthesizer&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiEuvbKjMr7AhXOKlkFHUBqAwIQ6AF6BAgBEAI#v=onepage&q=moog%20synthesizer&f=false , that article changed me from wanting to be a guitarist to a keyboardist with a synthesizer, so synths is why I started learning electronics back then around 15 yrs of age because I wanted to build my own which I'm still trying to do even though I have an original MiniMoog Model D, an ARP Solus, a Moog Satellite & a Behringer 2600 (ARP 2600 clone that was affordable recently). My late neighbor use to bring me many electronic parts, schematics & a 2-transistor oscillator he designed which I played with for many days that I still have in my possession.

For some non-pioneers, too. I started playing around with radios when I was 10, and am self-taught in electronics. Of course the math I got with a physics degree is more than adequate for synth experimentation.
