"During the month of January, 2006, I built an analog modular synthesizer from the ground up. At Oberlin, where I go to school, January is a time for students to work on individual projects of their choice. It has always been a dream of mine to build a modular synth, as I not only wanted one but also thought of it as sort of the "next step" after pedal building. I started on January 4th and ended on Febuary 4th (at 2 in the morning no less!), so it really did take a month to build.
This page contains specifications of my synth, information about the construction, and various soundclips and movies. While building the synth, I created a daily journal of my progress with pictures posted for each day (see "journal"). I am hoping that this can be a learning experience for more than just me-I know there are not many people out there that completely understand modular synths, and hopefully the media can help that. I also know that there are gaps in information regarding the construction of the modular synthesizer, so hopefully my pictures can help with that too. And most of all, hopefully I can give back to the Internet's synth DIY community that has greatly helped me along the way."
Via the Synth and Piano blog - added them to my blog roll on the right.
I was secretly hoping this would make it here (my favorite blog, the only one in my bookmarks bar!) but was too afraid to send it in myself so as not to seem boastful. Videos will come when I get a new camera-mine broke when I was trying to make videos last time. Thanks for making my day :)

Thanks. : ) I love it when that happens. BTW, that's a pretty nice sounding modular. Nice work. Let me when there are updates - too much to track lately. If you have an RSS feed, please post it and I'll sub to it.
