Printed Circuit Boards

These pages document adaptations I have created of various bits of Buchla circuitry.

These should be considered advanced projects, and should only be attempted by people with extensive knowledge and experience in electronics, particularly in terms of practical construction and debugging techniques. The boards are dense and the documentation is sparse. If you are just getting started with Synth DIY, we recommend starting with kits by Blacet Research or PAiA, or boards by Music from Outer Space. (There are numerous other kit and PCB manufacturers, but those are relatively newbie-friendly.)

If you try to build one of these projects, you must assume that you will be on your own, and be confident enough to tackle the project under those circumstances. I am interested in learning about people's experiences in building the boards, and will try to answer questions over e-mail, but I don't have time to do any hand holding.
