In the 1970s [[Electronic hobbyist]] magazines such as [[Practical Electronics]] (PE), [[Wireless World]], [[Electronics Today International]] (ETI) and [[Elektor]] were at the forefront, publishing designs for the synth builder. To build some of those designs, one needed a firm grasp of electronics and constructing even the smaller models was not easy.<ref name="sos" />
Things changed when ETI, in conjunction with
The Elektor [[Elektor Formant synthesizer|Formant synthesizer]] 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" />
