DIY Site No Frills Quick Reference

Scott Stites

Hello all,

There's a links section in electro-music, but sometimes it's nice to have a "quick reference" kind of thing right there where you're perusing. So, I thought I'd sticky this at the top of the DIY page as a work in progress. Basically, it will be just a link with a name - little to no description. Those of us who've been in Synth DIY for a while pretty much know who is who, and anybody new to it should click through one by one to find out who is who Very Happy

Please add your links to this thread, and I'll transfer them to this list in the first message in the thread. Don't forget to put a more detailed link in the lins section as well!

The qualification for this list is that the site is about synth diy - it can include kit suppliers and things like that as well, as long as they are synthesizer oriented. Effects are OK as well. Because this is meant as a DIY Site quick reference, please continue to put parts suppliers, etc. in the links section here:

electro-music DIY links

If you need any corrections or preferences to the name, let me know (like I have to figure out how to put the umlaut in JH's name, and the accent in Rene's name). Soon this text will disappear as it becomes obvious what this sticky is all about, and only the links will appear in this first message. I have many more, but here's the first smattering:

The Almighty Link Editor (aka ALE) commends you for your initiative Exclamation

Thank you, mighty ALE Very Happy

I just found myself going through or searching for links to sites I *knew* existed, which I usually do by searching author ("AndrewF" or "Frijitz", for example). All I needed was a name, so I thought something like this would help me Laughing

http://www.strings.ph.qmw.ac.uk/~thomas/synthdiy/
http://www.ucapps.de/
http://www.milton.arachsys.com/nj71/
http://search.retrosynth.com/synth-diy/
The last is very useful as a resource. Surprising how often the answer can be in there Smile

I couldn't find Aaron Cram's Apache project - it had some great
circuits and ideas though. Anyone know where Aaron is?

P.S. apologies if this post comes through more than once. Power cuts here....

Scott Stites · Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2007 6:48 pm Post subject:

Okee doke. Added them as:

uCApps.de
Steve Thomas Synthesizer Construction Pages
Neil Johnson "Neil's Webbly World"
Synth DIY List Search Page

Let me know if I screwed up any of the titles/names.

Yer right - I always enjoyed Aron Cram's site - dunno if it's still there or not.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi,

Magnus's Buchla Schematic link is broken. (Doubled up the http:)

But even fixing that doesn't work. On SDIY somebody recently posted that he has a "new" site; I went there and was pleased to find that many of the schematic links work, which come up dead at his old site(which the search engines I use seem to favor!)

Then I didn't save it properly and now can't find the SDIY post telling of the "new" site Sad

So I'd love to see that one added!)

I noticed Aaron's Apache site was unavailable recently too. Worked a couple weeks ago?

BTW, How about adding a "MIDIbox" to the ucapps.de link
(I know I look for midibox, not uCApps?)

Maybe add the name of individuals to their sites? For example, Scott Juskiw to Tellun and Mark Bareille to Papareil?

Is it worth double listing for people who know them one way but not the other?

IOW:
Scott Juskiw-Tellun Corp
and
Tellen Corp-Scott Juskiw
would
both appear in the list?

Scott Stites-Birth of a Synth(old site)
Birth of a Synth-Scott Stites(old site)

etc.

Thanks, I added Scott's name to Tellun and fixed the magnus links.

Once is fine by me - people generally know what they're looking for. If not, the links page should bear that kind of information. This is just the Rolodex Very Happy

.

I'll spiff it up as time allows.

Cheerios,

Scott

I edited your first post here, changing the "electro-music DIY links" from http://electro-music.com/forum/links.php to http://electro-music.com/forum/links.php?id=28
I also created a "featured link" on the appropriate Links section pointing at this thread Exclamation

hope you don't mind
Very Happy

It's a great Blog and well suited for the Rolodex Very Happy

. In fact, a few of these other suggestions I've gotten I'd never run across, and some I haven't looked at in years, so this is a fun/informative project to undertake.

There are a zillion more out there - I know; I've seen them. As I remember them (or am reminded), they'll go in the list.

Aaron Cram's stuff seems to be lost Crying or Very sad

I've taken to highlighting the IDs of electro-music members that are associated with these sites, where applicable. If there are some I'm unaware of, please let me know. Same goes for anything "broken" here.

Cheers,
Scott

Ah! Thanks, Jan. Got the accent on René. Now I'll see if I can do Juergen's name justice.

Edit: Jürgen, right?

A very useful site for building trevor page's 9090.....

the original 9090 page is at

http://www.tonepad.com/ - mostly stompboxes, but a nice VC Digital delay too Smile

I keep timing out on http://burnit.co.uk/sdiy/ but I know I've been there before. I'll try it again, when I make a connection (to be sure) I'll put it up.

That's Seb Francis' site, right? Or do I have my wires crossed?

Cheers,
Scott

do these fit on the list?

Dave - yep, I got through just now, too.

Seraph - absolutely. IMO, circuit bending (and FX) are part of Synth DIY - For those that don't feel that way, I've been sort of delineating the sites slightly by putting "FX" or "Circuit Bending" in the link. But, for heaven's sake, don't bypass R.G. Keen's GEOFex because it's an "effects" site.

Cheers,
Scott

And if anti-theory is on the list I have two links that must be here too Wink

Not sure if this fits the bill, but these guys have some good info, tips and schematics for circuit benders.
