diy synthesizer - pinky and friends


hi there! thanks for visiting. Please enjoy some pictures and sounds of my synths.
Most of them are made from junk pulled out of dumpsters or found on the side of the road on 'bring-out-your-dead' days.
I hope you can be inspired to build your own synths, with a bit of scrounging it is a cheap and easy task to build yourself an analogue monster!
Below are a few links to more detailed pics of some synths.

btw - A big thanks to Tom for hosting sdiy.org!!

Paia Fatman

some mods - diodes, sync, 4 LFO's. this was my first electronics project. if you are a total novice, imho Paia Fatman is a good launchpad.

the chickolin - output socket, touch switch for feedback, chicken controls pitch.
