Line 16: ==== 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.

Line 35 ⟶ 46: 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" /> The Elektor [[Elektor Formant ~~synthesiser\|Formant synthesiser~~]] design was published in 1977/78,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070110103220/http://www.euronet.nl/~rja/Emusic/Formant/ ''Formant Modular Analog Synthesizer''] by Rick Jansen</ref> also modular and based around [[Moog Modular]] styling. Another early ETI design was the [[ETI International 4600\|International 4600]] and its descendants, the [[ETI 5600\|5600]] and [[ETI 3800\|3800]] synths, which were distributed as kits by [[Maplin Electronics]]. The 4600 and the 5600 featured a [[pin matrix]] for [[Patch\|patching]] similar to that of the [[EMS VCS3]], only larger. However, these synths proved overly complex for the amateur constructor.<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" /> Line 84 ⟶ 95: * [https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59922 what percentage do you save going DIY?], Mod Wiggler Forum, May 2012 * [https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=265562 Talk me out of getting in way over my head for my first project], Mod Wiggler Forum, Aug 2022 ~~=== Getting started ===~~ * [https://web.archive.org/web/20191216005628/https://chrisbeckstrom.com/2019/11/15/getting-started-in-synth-diy-first-steps/ Getting Started in Synth DIY: First Steps] by Chris Beckstrom * [https://hackaday.com/2015/02/04/logic-noise-sweet-sweet-oscillator-sounds/ Logic Noise: Sweet, Sweet Oscillator Sounds] by Elliot Williams, Hackaday, 4 Feb 2015 * [https://syntherjack.net/how-to-start-synth-diy/ Synth DIY – how to start?] by SyntherJack, 25 Oct 2017 * [https://www.skullandcircuits.com/how-do-i-get-into-synth-diy/ How do I get into synth DIY?], Skull & Circuits, 15 Oct 2020 [[Category:Simple synth DIY]]
