It sounds like you're off to a good start. My suggestion would be to
go ahead and get the VCO assembled and get a VCA kit to build asap,
just so you can start making some noise. Once you know that you've got
those modules working, it will be easy to test new modules as you
build them.

By the way, the modules that Paul says are harder to build, like the
VCO's, mainly just take longer to build.

Here are a couple of other suggestions. You may want to consider the
380 quad LFO, instead of the 390. This would give you twice the number
of LFOs, and the ability to make complex LFO shapes easily.

You could probably hold off on the mult for now. When your system is
pretty small, you can get by with a couple of $3 Y-jacks from Radio
Shack.

Instead of the mult, you might put the money towards a uVCO. The
second VCO opens up a lot of possibilities for cross-modulation.

Hope this helps!
