== Ability and know-how ==
The single most important factor in synth DIY is your skills. You'll need to be able to read and understand [[Schematics|circuit diagrams]], identify [[electronic component]]s, and [[fault-find]] non-working circuits.<ref name="ks">[https://web.archive.org/web/20170420052751/http://www.cgs.synth.net/help.html Help page] of Ken Stone's Modular Synthesizer site] -

==== Circuit simulation ====
{{Main|Electronic circuit simulation}}
Simulation allows us to understand the operating principles of electronics.
This application is essential for those who wish to learn about electronic simulation.

Kicad also has a SPICE simulation feature

Things changed when ETI, in conjunction with [[Powertran Electronics|Powertran]], released the design and a kit of parts for a single-oscillator synth called the [[Powertran Transcendant 2000|Transcendant 2000]]. The article (by [[Tim Orr]], formerly of [[EMS]]) was well planned, and Powertran provided everything you needed, down to the last nut and bolt, even including a mains plug. It was very popular, and spawned a range of synths including the [[Transcendant Polysynth]], which was the kit-builder's [[Jupiter 8]] without the memories. In 1979 ETI also published schematics for the [[Digisound 80]] modular. This, like the Transcendant Polysynth, featured [[Curtis Electro Music]] synth [[chips]]. The CEM chips made kit building much easier.<ref name="sos" />

Bear in mind that magazine designs are frequently inaccurate or incomplete. The [[Practical Electronics Analogue Sequencer]], for instance, published in April 1977, will not function correctly without the modifications published in September 1977.<ref name="sos" />
