Within this system, most electronic instruments, such as [[theremin]]s, organs, [[keyboard synthesizer]]s, and [[drum machine]]s could be considered Electrophones, specifically, of type "53. Radioelectric instruments: instruments in which sound is produced by electrical means" Broadly the gear that synth DIY is concerned with are [[~~synthesizers~~synthesizer]]s ([[analog]] and [[digital]]) and [[samplers]], [[sequencers]], [[drum machines]], [[effects]] as well as [[ancillary equipment]] such as [[controllers]] (and [[protocols]]), [[amplifiers]], [[mixers]], as well as with [[repairing]] and [[modifying]] these. == See also ==
