I've owned their 9700 modular, probably still the cheapest full modular on the market at $560. http://paia.com/prodimages/9700-side-kit-lg.jpg Currently their cheapest kit is the Fatm...

Re: I am building my first synthesizer, and I have questions

I found everything nicly, but one question: I love how I can order stuff in a bundle, but is that all I need for a basic synth? There's a BOM for every project on the site.
