How to build a synthesizer

Here is the little collection of links and materials for people who want to create modular synthesizer on their own.

Pioneers

  • Yusynth — big library of classic modules in MU format by Yves Usson, but nobody says that you can’t build it in any other format.
  • Music from outer space — another one big library of modular (and not only modular) projects with schemes compatible with eurorack format by Ray Wilson.
  • Cat-Girl Synth — synth DIY projects from Ken Stone.

Watch and learn

  • Look mum no computer — Sam will teach you in a very funny way how to build your own synth even if you never touched a screwdriver.
  • Notes and volts — mounts of musical electronic projects and good learning videos from Dave.
  • Moritz Klein channel — detailed instructions from scratch teach you how every module works and how to build your own.

For modular case
