Many people with an interest in [[electronics]] and [[music]] are now discovering that a Synth-DIY project is feasible.<ref>[http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/index.php?MAINTAB=SYNTHDIY Synth-DIY] at Music From Outer Space.</ref> More advanced synth DIYers design and build their own [[synthesizer]]s. What’s needed is a design, parts and tools, and especially the skills.<ref name="sos">[http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan00/articles/netnotes.htm ''Build Your Own Synth Websites''], Sound On Sound by Ken McBeth, Jan 2002</ref> Unless assembling relatively inexpensive circuits like the [[Atari Punk Console]], synth DIY can be an expensive pastime.

[[PAiA Electronics Inc|PAiA]] have been producing analogue synth [[kit]]s since 1967. The [[PAIA Fatman]] is a complete synth to build from a proven design. It has two [[VCO]]s and a good [[VCF]] similar to that of the second-series [[ARP Odyssey]]. The schematics are easy to follow and anyone is allowed to build it providing they don't market it as their own.<ref name="sos"/> There is a selection of links to bare [[Printed circuit board|PCB]]s and kits at [http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/index.html Ken Stone's Modular Synthesizer site].
