I believe the original intent of the question was to help limit the scope of a project the OP is considering. It was never about this list in itself. Nobody is proposing to pigeonhole or limit the definition of topics or valid members of this list. The OP is requesting information to help make his project more manageable, or to help give him a focus to get started.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Like all other things sdiy, the OP asked this list for help on his sdiy project, which coincidentally, is not creating, modifying, or building a software *OR* a hardware Synth.<br></p><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">
