do u have any recomenders i can quote u on, euro / kit or otherwise ? if so, i'd suggest a price limit of around 100quid-ish as a max for a "cheap' module :) obviously theres the doper a-196 PLL i just got arrived today which is great, ! + the a-112 sampler/wavetable of course :) I decided to get a 3rd party opinion too, so i asked aphex twin for a couple of rec's :] =>ĭave: am needing to give out a few good cheapo module rec's for my talk at unsound adelaide.

blank PCB is just $8US or full kit is $90. There's not too many modules i know of that use the 4046 chip, but the bartons musical circuits 4046 shaper is worth a look for diy-ers. check out mylar melodies other videos too, super useful if you want to check out a module of interest. you get 3 audio outputs, linear vco, phase detector comparator, low pass filter all in one module. It's a great little fun module for the price and unusual with the phase comparator.

i checked this great video by mylar melodies before i parted with the ca$h of course. so decided to give it a go and if i think its a good module, i can invest a bit of time and knock up a few 4046 style circuits on the cheap :) + the module itself is very cheap, about $100AUS, i got mine from patchcable in tasmania. I'm not one to throw cash wildly at synth manufacturers, but i've just recently got hold of a doepfer a-196 PLL module, mainly because the core chip inside, a 4046 PLL is quite cheap at 75c, easy to get hold of and has been on my to do list for far too many years. vcs3/synthi aks for an idea of what a nice little modular synth can be loaded up with: 3xVCO/LFO, noise, ring modulator, filter, enelope gen, vca, reverb, external input, joystick and a pin matrix, + a sequencer on the synthi aks. i'd suggest having a look at some classic architectures, e.g.

so i d suggest start with a modest system e.g.

Talking of cheap kits, many places on ebay also sell little signal generator / oscillator kits too, often using classic cheap function gen chips like these two based on 8038 or XR2206.Īt some point u have to take the plunge and buy a few things. If you dont want to make one at all, you can get them pre-built for $35AUS from Elby Designs here, and there are tons of other cheap kits there. have a look at the original patent as you can see its a very simple circuit, consisting of just 2 transformers and 4 diodes =>

+ there's some pics i took of roberta settels diode transformer ring mod at ems sweden here. there is a great intro to them by hugh davies here. Talking of ring mods, the diode transformer ring modulator is a classic synth module thats so cheap and easy to build.

See graham hintons page on how useful rectification can be, including ems style rectification for shape modulation => here + here including lots of info on how to get the most of ring modulation. and before you know it you've made your first module for a couple of bucks. and stick some jack sockets on and put it in a lunch box. we can add a little pot on the diode input to give us a drive control. and use it as a fixed half wave rectifying shaper. we can hook up a diode straight on the output of an oscillator etc. and these components cost a few cents to maybe a dollar or so depending where you start. U can do really simple waveshaping with pn junctions such as found in diodes, transistors, leds etc. when you're starting out tho, u can get by using just breadboard. U don't really need to understand how electronic circuits work to do synth diy, what u need to do as a minimum is be able to identify components and maybe do some soldering etc. Lets have a look at getting started on mega low cost simple bit of diy with passive modules =>
