Anyone else building an analogue synthesizer here?

Here's a pic of my analogue modular. All hand built over the last 12 years.

Nice system!

Aha, I had a listen to "Darktones", nice (and my sound card works yet again!)
Much prefer electronic to be a little slower, go for the swing/groove before tempo anyday. ( too old to dance and 1988 is just corrupted data now:P )
A bit of influence from Planet Rock and Tour De France in there, will listen to some more I think .

How about this one?

Nice!
Quite a few different "textures" mixing in there that normally don't sit together.
No soon as it starts, it goes through JMJ, The Who, several others and finally settling on something akin to old OMD with an updated sound!

Electronica is not really my "go to" music (to rip a USA "tool time" expression ), but you certainly have talent and write nice material.
I am half tempted to start plugging some stuff together... must fight the urge, have to finish the lab first...

Thanks, I had no intent to sound like anyone else, although, it's always easier to identify with something akin to something familiar, I just create what feels good at the time.

I highly recommend building something once your lab is ready. I did it the other way around, built the lab around my synth DIY hobby.

Indeed, it's hard to talk about music without a reference of some kind.
I was hamming up the adjectives earlier, sort of a Jazz Club style "NIIIICCCCEEE".

Still have  Korg T3 and a Casio Privia(great budget piano action controller), some odds and sounds of recording equipment, so not to hard to step back into it.

In DIY terms, Always fancied have a crack at throttling the life out of freak oscillator circuits to create some weird sonic crucifixion wrangler.
Fek all use for music probably though!:P
Something akin to what the husband and wife team did creating the soundtrack for the 1950's film "Forbidden Planet"

That looks lovely piece of work, any shots of the internals of some of these babies?
Three octave keyboard!?!

Well, my website hasn't been updated for 5 years, but it does show some of the modules:

Your site looks very familiar, are you a member of GearSlutz?

Nope

I must have found it reading about synth DIY sometime, it is rather a memorable set-up!

Certainty wins a Jazz Club nniiiiccceee

Fired up the T3 today, though Alternative Ulster on piano doesn't qualify I fear

Back in high school (about '74) I built a Paia 2700 kit synth. Lost the thing in a move a few decades ago.

Just recently I've sort of been bitten by the bug again. I plan on designing a number of my own modules, but decided to build a known platform first. Toward that end I've bought a set of PCBs from MFOS; a VCO, VCF, VCA, ADSR, and keyboard interface. I've also bought a small mountain of components from several distributors to populate the boards.  Nothing to show in pictures yet, but I guess I could take one of a box with a couple thousand components in it. :-)

I have designed and built the two power supplies and some power distribution boards which you can see here: https://plus.google.com/102867471209152798204/posts/haWMaUr1aSw

Now that I'm out of the Hackaday Prize contest, I hope to devote more time to it.
