Designed more for simplicity than high performance. Good enough to get an introduction to some basic principles of Synth DIY. Using just a handful of components and commonly built on [[stripboard]].
* [[Passive mult]] - Probably the easiest module to possibly build, all you need is some [[connectors|jack]]s, some wire, and a soldering iron. This module allows you to split a signal to be sent to multiple destinations. ''Passive mults are not suitable for V/octave CV control, because the voltage may drop when split, due to varying impedances in the destinations'''▼
* [[Atari Punk Console]] - one of the simplest audio-generating circuits. There are [[CV/gate|CV]]-controllable versions available, however,''they do not track voltage'', and so are not suitable as melodic voices.
* [[Baby sequencer]] -
* [[LMNC simple EG]] - a very cut down envelope generator<!-- https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/simple-envelope-generator -->
* [[LMNC simple-filter]] - a simplified MS20 LPF<!-- https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/simple-filter -->
