I built a DIY synthesizer. It is Ray Wilsons design: The Soundlab MiniSynth. I am really impressed with myself that I got it working almost right away. My wiring is a complete mess, and the front panel I didnt spend much time on because that was just for wiring purposes. I am going to stuff the whole thing inside of an old Geiger Counter case. (The Egon Box)

  • is that the WSG?

  • No, it's the Soundlab Mini Synth. It's much more "Musical" then the WSG. The WSGs are really just noise-making toys.....they make really cool noises, but are not musical at all.

    I've built two WSGs and two soundlabs now, and am working on some keyboard controllers for the Soundlabs.

    I think it is possible to use a WSG as a "Noise Source" for the soundlab.

    In this video, I am basically demonstrating some of the sounds that the soundlab can make.

  • sounds amazing... are you using any other effects or is it just the mini synth? also, how much money/time have you spent on this? cheers

  • No effects, just the synth. I am guessing I have about $100 bucks wrapped up in this one.

  • what is the best way go get started in simple analouge synth building anyone?

  • Google serach: Music From Outer Space (Youtube strips out urls, so I cant post the exact link) Follow links to, or google "electro-music" forum. TONS of good info there. Its basicaly where I got and learned everything.

see all

  • @topekadiyver2 wow, i have been long time thinking about building a keyboard controller for CV... but my first doubt is where should i pick the keys from? what is your idea? the keyboard project MFOS provide is pretty cool

  • Well done sir!

  • what is the best way to control this synth with a keyboard?

  • i am a total newbe to all this DIY magic, but i found the MFOS site has a section for dumbs as me... do you think that by reading some of the books they recomend you can start by building a WSG?¿ i dont have a clue of electronics, if i see a schematic i dont understand absolutely nothing... is it really possible for a dummy as me (in electronics...i dont even know how to solder) to start right away with some of those Forrest Mims books? thanks in advance!

  • yes it can!

  • that doesn't quite answer the 'time' question...

    sounds wicked, btw.

  • can it be played somehow, using a midi to cv box fo example?

  • Check RHYTHMTANDEM for another rare instrument.
