I'm a huge fan of the work of Robert Moog (pronounced like "rogue"), who was one of the most important innovators in the field of electronic sound synthesis. Sadly he passed away in 2005. One of his most significant contributions was the synthesizer depicted below -- the "Minimoog Model D". This synthesizer defined the basic method that synthesists would use to create electronic music for the next 40 years. Using the original schematics, I'm learning electronics engineering one circuit at a time with the end goal being the creation of a working "Minimoog-like" synthesizer.

http://www.homemade-labor.ch/weblog/ "Ich verfüge über fast 20 Jahre Erfahrung in der Entwicklung von Schaltungen in Analog- wie auch Digitaltechnik. Diese Kenntnisse und mein Interesse an der “elektronischen” Musik und ihrer Instumente, war auch der Auslöser sich mit der Herstellung von hochwertigen Analog Synthesizern und anderen Geräten zu beschäftigen..."
