And Uli is an expert at low cost manufacturing. You can't build something like say the X32 cheaper than he can - he has the volume to get best component prices and an in-house Chinese factory - something that even Apple never achieved.</div>

Uli actually doesnt know what they its doing. The plan is to do it much much better. And I know it's possible.</div>

If you want to get rich, you're looking at this from the wrong end. Good synth (or any other form of audio) engineering is pretty commonplace, but even for the small niche companies it's marketing and manufacturing that makes the difference.</div>

And Uli has already optimised both so you'll never get to the rich stage.</div>

I want to build an analog synth from scratch. I currently work as a digital IC design engineer at a semiconductor company and I have good knowledge in analog circuit design, but I'm not that good at advanced analog circuitry.</div>
