<p>why?</p>
<p>if I write a softsynth, and put it in a VST that's not synth DIY? But if I write a softsynth and put it in a chip in a box that is synth DIY?</p>

The Brabani books and R.A. Penfold and<br /> R.M.Marston have quite a lot to answer for in my case.<br /> In many ways, Bernie's Electronotes *is* the history of Synth-DIY<br /> already! Ok, it's only a single source and a single editor, but it<br /> follows the progress of the field over a long period of time and<br /> covers pretty much everything sooner or later. I doubt there's a more<br /> comprehensive overview.<br /> <br /> Tom<br /> <br /> ==================<br /> Electric Druid<br /> Synth & Stompbox DIY<br /> ==================<br /> <br />

I have some questions, if I may.<br /> How to define SDIY - it's not just exclusively synths, amateurs making<br /> electronic music circuits as opposed to plugging together ready-made parts?<br /> When did SDIY begin and how has it developed over the years? Especially<br /> since the invention of semiconductors but before then should also be<br /> included. What were the significant moments and who were the pioneers along<br /> the way?<br /> Bob Moog sold Theremin kits in the 1950s. Guitar pedals began development in<br /> the 1960s. Before this there were guitar amplifiers with effects built in,<br /> and earlier still people used magnetic tape. The PAiA FAQ states that the<br /> 1970s were busy, the 1980s were quieter, (with the hobbyists being<br /> distracted by PCs) and that interest picked up again in the 1990s. PAiA has<br /> been producing synthesizer kits since 1972. Electronotes started in 1972.<br /> Various magazine articles by authors such as Tim Orr, John Simonton, Don<br /> Lancaster, Craig Anderton, etc. give some sort of indication. The earliest<br /> DIY electronic music instrument books seem to be from the early to<br /> mid-1970s.<br /> How to distinguish what's SDIY from R&D? Obviously the pioneers and<br /> inventors like Harald Bode and Kraftwerk had to DIY; does this get ignored?<br /> Does it begin with the electro-magnetic Helmholtz resonator?<br /> ______________________________<wbr />_________________<br /> Synth-diy mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Synth-diy@synth-diy.org">Synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a><br /> <a href="http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://synth-diy.org/mailman/l<wbr />istinfo/synth-diy</a></blockquote>
