Helped me a out lot on several occasions. Things will start to fall into place eventually.Īlso, once you have some of the basics down and face a specific problem with something you’re working on, there are some very helpful and generous people on this forum that might be able to push you into the right direction or give you another perspective. I’m not the most theoretical mind and far from being an expert, so it’s easy for me to get intimidated at first, but I’m a tinkerer by nature and breaking things down into small bites helps me to get a better grasp of the theory behind it as I go along.

Think about it like this: A complex patch on a modular synth will be pretty hard to understand if you don’t know what a mixer or a VCA is supposed to be doing or if the modules are not labeled. Things like summing stages, inverters, comparators, etc., which often make up the majority of a design. Looking at a large and complex circuit suddenly becomes a lot less intimidating once you’re able to spot the "boring stuff" right away.
I think one of the most important things when starting out is being able to dissect a circuit into its "building blocks". So essentially it is a combination of reading, building, measuring, obsessing, and time. At the same time I spent a long time looking at and building and poking around in circuits on the CGS web site which you can now find here: I think most people have the opposite experience. I already knew Ohm's law (!!!) and between those things and reading threads on here I was able to cobble together a basic working knowledge.Īfter that I tried to read Horowitz and Hill "Art of Electronics" but it wasn't math-based enough for me I got on better with Sedra-Smith "Microelectronic Circuits".

Most of the book is a construction guide for the Noise Toaster which is not that interesting but it has a great appendix which explains the basics of op amp configurations, as well as how to use an OTA (LM13700) and stuff about CMOS ICs. The thing I found most useful at the beginning was Ray Wilson's book "Make: Analog Synthesizers" together with all the circuit write-ups on the Music From Outer Space web site. Slowly! I guess I picked up the idea of doing this about three years ago and now I would regard myself as having a basic idea of what is going on. How did you go from "I just learned to solder" to "I now design my own synth circuits" ? (I don't want to learn everything about electrical engineering, just what's relevant to designing analog audio circuits for synthesizers) Are there guides which will help me build example circuits, and tell me what every resistor, capacitor, diode, IC, etc is actually doing in the circuit, and why? Then progressively build upon that to create more complex circuits? I would really like something that's project-based, because I learn better "hands-on" than just memorizing theory from a textbook (though both are important). Is there anything out there that presumes to teach this? use an o-scope) and come across many great answers, I have not been able to find a defined pathway of learning where the endpoint (say, a year or two from now) is me being able to design some sort of interesting synth circuit and/or modify other people's designs. While it's easy enough to Google/YouTube "How do I do X?" (e.g.

How did you go from "I just learned to solder" to "I now design my own synth circuits" ? Particularly those of you who don't have some sort of professional background in electrical engineering etc. I'm looking for clear and definitive actions:
