Buchla Inspired Electronic Music Box DIY-pages

Full details at SEKU

Snip for the archives:
"Electronic Music Box (or just EMB) is my Buchla-inspired performance synthesizer. This project started when I wanted to give a new life to my old trusted Oakley VCO's. They are a kind of MOOGish design so here MOOG shakes hand with Buchla. Here below is a diagram of EMB's sound-generation arrangement. VCO1's triangle output is routed to Ian Fritz's Double Pulse Generator (DPG). DPG gives the usual PW and PWM but also Pulse Timbre and Pulse Timbre Modulation. VCO1 triangle and square outputs are routed to Bergfotron's Complex VCO Waveshaper that creates SIN, TRI, 2F SAW, EVEN and SPIKE waveforms. Oakley VCO's sine-output was not so perfect (these are older versions). It was more like filtered triangle-wave. Complex VCO Waveshaper gives a perfect sine-wave. Electric Druid's Noise Source generates white and pink noise. Noise outputs are also on frontpanel jacks so it is possible to modulate something with noise..."

"The LushOne is a patchable synthesizer that provides a first step in the wonderful world of modular synthesizers. For more details see lushprojects.com/lushone"

"LushOne features:

Modules connected by patch leads (3 leads included in kit) to allow many combinations and to allow interconnect of external modules
Dual digital oscillators with five wave shapes to provide stable tuning and a range of Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) effects
Analog voltage controlled low pass filter with cut-off and resonance controls to create classic synth sounds
MIDI DIN input to oscillators to allow LushOne to be played from commonly available keyboards and computer controllers
Analog control voltage inputs to filter and oscillators to support alternative controllers and crazy external effects
Single board design including all controls and connectors (except power-in) providing straightforward construction and neat presentation. The LushOne can easily be incorporated in to a "project box" case.
Detailed illustrated and video tutorials that introduce all the key features and show how the different modules work and how to get the full range of sounds.
Open-source access to schematic and software

The LushOne is straightforward to build but it does have quite a high component count. It is recommended that you have some experience in building electronics before starting on this kit."

It is ready to be played and needs nothing. As the title says, this one has the CPU Plus (CC+ Midi upgrade.) In addition, it also has the newer, better power supply (SPSU kit) by Luca Sfregola.
