Thanks to the author for this. My amateur-hour electronics dream is to level up from simple Arduino/control voltage hacking to an actual, workable polyphonic synthesizer.

Ha! Been there. It’s surprisingly tricky (I know lots of software, not so much hardware). It was as great fun to work on though.

http://musicfromouterspace.com http://musicfromouterspace.com is a great place to start. Going from simple dc arduino inputs to high precision analog is a bear, but super rewarding. Get ready to get your soldering skills right and start caring about resistor tolerances!

  I learned electronics from Ray's diagrams, he is truly missed. Another of my synth DIY mentors (with whom I worked on the Arturia MiniBrute) is Yves Usson: http://yusynth.net/index_en.php http://yusynth.net/index_en.php

For a little extra inspiration have a look over Look Mum No Computer's projects. He's a little out there but has a deep knowledge and boundless enthusiasm. https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/projects https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/projects

  He's a great inspiration for people starting out, because he's proof that you don't need to be the most meticulous or "clean" engineer in order to make incredible stuff. He's very prolific though.
