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"/>

Using circuits from a former commercial product, using a schematic from a service manual can also be problematic, as these too can contain errors.
The best answer to all this, if not to design your own circuit, is to re-use one from a one-time commercial product, using a schematic from an original service manual. A good example might be the [[Moog Rogue]], for which two excellent complete schematics are available. The entire schematic may look somewhat complex, but the circuit for the [[filter]] is easy to extract as a self-contained part, and it works.<ref name="sos"/>

The best answer to all this, is to use circuits tried and tested by previous SDIYers. Refer to the list of external links below for where to research for these.
