== Entry level projects ==
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 easily built on [[stripboard]].
=== Passive circuits ===
Passive circuits don't require powering.
* [[CGS real ring modulator]] and [[CGS real ring modem]] -
* [[Moog passive filters]] -
* [[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'''
* [[Vactrol VCF]] - This can do interesting things right away unlike a [[VCO]] which doesn't do much interesting on it's own.
=== Active circuits ===
Active circuits need some Volts for power.
