i'm thinking about building a module...but i'm not quite shure wich one.
I think i like the lfo's...but i'm new to synth(etc...)building...so..any one knows a easy lfo(or any module) with pcb if it's possible?

thank you.

I'd start with either a VCO or a VCF.
They are the two most fundamental modules IMHO.
An LFO is normally used to modulate another module which has a CV input, so if you build it by itself it won't do much until you have, for example, a VCO.
Check the MFOS site, Ray has a number of module projects there. PCB layouts as well.
Or just type DIY Synth Module into google and see where it leads you.
See ya,

I would start with a VCO, ADSR (or AR) and a VCA, so that you can plug in some CVs and gates from a keyboard or sequencer. It's not much but it is the base of a synth. Add that VCF and LFO later... that's what I would have done... Rolling Eyes
