Synth DIY by fonik
My electronics workstation in the garage has been closed for the winter due to extreme cold. Not that I’ve had the time, anyways. However, the temperature is on the rise, and I’m looking forward to getting back out there. The big goal I’ve set for myself is to make some of my very own eurorack modular synth units.
And perhaps by cosmic coincidence, a modular synth enthusiast, who goes by the name of fonik, commented on one of my flickr photos a couple of days ago. This led me to his photos, which led me to www.modular.fonik.de. On his site, he shares in detail his custom modules and schematics. Having a DIY guide to follow is exactly what I need.
“Rather a musician than an electronics engineer I was always looking for new sounds. This finally(?) let me to modular synth. Once I purchased some Dopefer modules for a modular guitar effect the plan rose to build my own modular synth… this was about 2 years ago and I never held an soldering iron in my hands before.” – fonik
This is the position I’m in today. The fact that he has been able to accomplish so much with in such a short period of time gives me hope that I, too, will be able to succeed in my modular synth building endeavors.

I’ve recently started to experiment with High Dynamic Range photography. Some of the works I’ve seen on flickr are absolutely amazing. However, there are times when I think the technique becomes too hyper-real, even for my tastes. Either way, I’m having fun with it, which I guess is the only thing that truly matters.

The place is filled with photos and videos of synthesizers in action. I visit this site at least a few times a week, as there is almost always something new to look at or read. I’m sure it won’t be long before I start stealing links from Matrixsynth.
“Matrixsynth, simply put is a blog on everything synth. I started the site on July 20th of 2005 as a means of keeping track of all the interesting tidbits I came across in the synthesizer community. I’m a synth hobbyist. I track intersting news, samples, images, trivia and more, including all the manufacturers such as Moog, Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Alesis, Clavia, and Access along with the boutique modular synth shops like MOTM, MacBeth Studios, Cwejman, Doepfer, Analog Soultions, etc.”– Matrix
I also recommend you visit Matrixsynth’s sister blog Synthwire.

While looking for groups to join at flickr, I was surprised to learn one did not already exist for the Berklee College of Music. So I created one. It will hopefully become a great place for us alumni to share our pictures of life at Berklee.
