So, Okay, Theres a small project ive been thinking of, planning, and working on since April of 2011. Im very interested in electronic music, synthesizers, and similar audio gear :D Ive got some gear of my own (which im trying to learn how to play and program) and have really wanted to build my own synth. After a bit of looking round on some DIY sites, I came across the WSG: Weird Sound Generator. It came from the Music From Outer Space website by Ray Wilson. I was like, HEY this sounds really cool :D and would be fun to build. The site gave schematics for it and lots of tips and some instructions on how to build this. It says this is a good beginners project and even will sell you the circuit board (or the whole pre-built device if you want). Ive been over the last months, purchasing tools and components to build the WSG. And its been great so far, quite a learning experience in a bit of basic electronics..... As of now (Sep/13/11) Ive built the circuit borad with all the neccessary components, the control panel is just about drilled and cut (need one more drill for a output 1/4" jack). Next will probably do the wiring from the board to the panel w/ pots and switches and then building a case to contain the parts and finally putting everything together :D IM SOOO excited, just need to find the time to do it - between work and hanging with friends ^^

Anywhooo! Heres the site:

and they have plenty of other projects to take on as well :) oh and some soldering experience is recommended, but you could practice with some tutorials on YouTube.

Ill post updates and pics as I make progress on construction :D

Thanks for watching
