It would depend on your soldering experience.<br>

to first first build a small rack with some
selected ready-built Eurorack modules (Doepfer,
Behringer etc.) and then start filling the empty
space with DIY modules. It might be useful also to
check things like Expert Sleepers Silent Way VST (<a

<p>@all Lena answered directly to me, but not to
the list:</p>
<p>Hi Lena!<br>
</p>
<p>Here are my suggestions: <br>
</p>
<p>Start with Eurorack modular stuff. The
biggest problems for a beginner are not the
electronic things, but the mechanical stuff.<br>
Also you can rely on existing working parts
(housing, modules and/or the powersupply) and
add your diy modules then.</p>
<p>Start first with a kit that is delivered with
PCB and parts. Thonk should be a good place to
start. <a href="https://www.thonk.co.uk"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.thonk.co.uk</a><br>
In my beginnings nothing made me more proud
than a working device I soldered from a kit.<br>
</p>
<p>Then you may continue with building a module
on a stripboard / veroboard / breadboard pcb
using a given schematic (potential sources for
schematics were already named on the list).
Software like VeeCad may help you to design
the pcb. Sourcing the parts, developing the
layout on the stripboard and creating an own
panel will be the challenging tasks here.</p>
After that you may either develop your first own
circuit, or start modifying other circuits.<br>

<br>
what knowledge do you have about synths,
electronics, and/or soldering?<br>

It is something different whether you are
musician "only" or whether you <br>
are skilled with soldering electronic kits
like guitar pedals.<br>
