Hi everybody!
My name is Henning and I live in the NL. I have been playing piano when I was a kid, and also did some very basic electronics and soldering during my childhood. In the recent years, I have been looking for a way to come back to music and electronics but could never motivate myself to learn piano sheets etc. and I had no good project for doing electronics. The lockdown had an enormous effect on me because it made life incredibly difficult, as both my partner and I are working and we have a 2 years old child. I thus looked for a positive way to deal with emotions. First I listened to NIN a lot and then I started to watch Sam’s videos. I realised that instead of going back to piano, I could go for synths! That’s what I did and I purchased a Behringer (boooh! 
, but I cannot afford a Minimoog…) Poly D to get started. This helped me a great deal to learn basics of synths, but reading the excellent SOS Synth Secrets series wetted my appetite.
My project is now to build various modules that are adding something to what the Poly D can do (not just subtractive synthesis 
), learn more about music theory and then concentrate on making some music as a way for expressing myself.
Another future idea is to develop modules or synths that can be used in education. This because I lecture at the university in logic, theoretical computer science and math. But I have done FPGA and embedded development in the past. And now I’m devouring knowledge about analogue electronics! One part of my project is to build a (Tayda-friendly) Kosmo Module around the Teensy. The planning for this is done, and I have learned a lot about analogue filter already 
Next up, I have to submit my orders for the components and plan a case for the modules.
In any case, I found this forum and the community already as passive reader great and extremely helpful. Now it’s time to become an active member!
