Electronics for Music Syntheses
The reason this domain name is synthstuff.com is that I have been into playing music for the last 50 years and electronic instruments for the last 40. There has been a wonderful resurgence of analog synthesizers in the last ten years as the classic 'old' patents have expired and those circuits can be rebuilt using modern components and engineering practices.
The result is the wonderful rich sound of the classic instruments -- but -- they stay in tune when the room temperature fluctuates and the ever-present noise is gone.
My system is piecemeal built from several vendors but the core is modules from
Synthesis Technology. There has been a nice cottage industry built up around creating additional modules packaged in the same MOTM format for a unified look.
Building a system of your own takes some electronics skills and I was just turned onto this website today -- it is a college level class on
Electronics for Music Syntheses.
Haven't looked through the whole thing but it looks really thorough.
He is asking for a donation ($25) if you use the whole course -- the money goes to buying parts for the class.
Well worth checking out if you have the interest...
