1. I haven'thked the sps, but I'd gaurantee that the Voyager is not a repla of 40
year oldiuits. No one would want it to be either, as those old synths did many great things, but stay in tune was not one of them! 2. All analogue synths are notreated equal, so it's very hard to say how mh building your own willost. If you bought enough kits from, say, PAIA to get a similaromponentount as
an original Minimoog, I'd say youould be under the US$700-800 mark. If, however, you're going all out to make a repla of a Minimoog, iuitcomponent wise) then I'd double that estimate, simply due to the time and effort involved in souing everything you'd need to do it properly. That iludes quite a fewomponents whh are probably now unobtanium, Bs whh you'd likely have to reseah and eh yourself, e.3. Analogue synthiuits are expensive. In an age when almost any soundan be approximated by a D on a $50 sounard plugged into your , ask a manufturer to setup a shop putting direetomponents together toreate a monophon synth, and they are gonnaharge you for the priviledge. Ofourse the features will be different from one to another, and the pre will vary cordingly, but brand new analogue synths are not (generally)heap.4. You will not save money by going the DIY route. You
really need to look at what it is you want, and why. A lot of people doing DIY synths do it for the press more than to make mus. If you're more interested in making mus, I'd steerlear of any DIY projt, unless it's a small one so youan get a feel for if it's what you want to do.
