<div class=""><p class="">@all Lena answered directly to me, but not to the list:</p><p class="">Hi Lena!<br class="">
</p><p class="">Here are my suggestions: <br class="">
</p><p class="">Start with Eurorack modular stuff. The biggest problems for a
beginner are not the electronic things, but the mechanical stuff.<br class="">
Also you can rely on existing working parts (housing, modules
and/or the powersupply) and add your diy modules then.</p><p class="">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" class="">https://www.thonk.co.uk</a><br class="">
In my beginnings nothing made me more proud than a working device
I soldered from a kit.<br class="">
</p><p class="">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 class=""><p class=""><br class="">

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

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