read up on all the circuits there. That will get you started into
synthesizer electronics in a big way. Many of your questions will probably
be answered by doing that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello!
<DIV>I joined the mailing list recently and I really do enjoy reading through
your discussions! I happen to be studying electronics and having interest in
synthesizers (from a user perspective) at the same time and I think it's time
to connect them. So I have some questions!</DIV>
<DIV>
<OL>
<LI>Are there any no-brainer/commonly used parts and ICs used particularly
in audio modules and which I should buy in larger quantities? For example,
in university I got along with HC14/AC14, BC547/557, 555, ľA741, LM358,
LM385 and TL431.<BR>
<LI>I was taught that structures like Eccles-Jordan circuits are archaic and
we shouldn't use them, but is this also relevant in analog synthesis? Any
other examples?
<LI>I can't find any good materials explaining typical audio voltage levels?
I'm talking about line level. instrument level, signal from
microphone/electric guitar, and most importantly CV and voltages used in
modular synthesizers.
<LI>I'm assigned to make a linear power supply, and I don't have any
specific parameters specified. Could you suggest what voltage level and
power it should probably give so I could use this in future synth/audio
projects?
<LI>Are there any good wikis/sites/forums for people like me? It was really
tough for me to find anything except this mailing list
<LI>Is there anything else I should probably know?</LI></OL>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV></DIV>
