The Modulator DIY Modular

Full specs and details here.

"There are Buchlas, Moogs and Serges, but there is nothing like rolling your own...
Here are my pictures and notes from building an analogue modular synthesizer.

Why?
A while ago I planned to buy a Yamaha CS-30 since I wanted to have some kind of simple analogue sequencer device but I couldn't fine one in good condition. Then I moved on looking at the Roland System 100m but figured the price tag for a decent system with sequencer and all would be a bit too high.
Searching the net for analogue sequencers I found the Music From Outer Space 16-step analog sequencer. Quite simple construction and versatile. But an analogue sequencer needs to drive some analog VCOs, and VCOs need VCFs, and VCFs need CV sources, ...
I decided to go for a small basic setup..."

This one in via Pär.
