good quality and stuff ,but looks good, there is a steiner parker filter, clock sequencer and divider and some nice tools available in 2 sizes (moog/motm and formant 5/6HE) - atm you can have any format you want.. (german) more on them
you can still buy EMS at very high prices here:

buchla (yes, one of the first synthesizer pioneers ever don buchla) did another (also very expensive) old new system with digital modules (24 stage envelopes!) and midi and allows storing sounds/voltages...

this is the best known DIY Synth project in germany..
nice diy synth: (german): http://www.lilienthal-electronic.de/

anyware-instruments, some analogue gear.. we developed the forum-DIY-synth simplesizer and forumodular .. some filterboxes also (megapole series), SEMtex (our SEM clone type synth), some modules in moog size (VCOs, VCFs, etc..)
and even a nice sequencer "groovegenerator"..
http://www.moogce.com/prod04.htm

more.. interesting hardware.. :
very special machines can be found here. for converting and lots more.. maybe interesting for modular systems and very special systems..

of course these are the analogue modulars only.. ;) .. find the nord modular, the creamware modular or others in digital or/and software section
Theremin DIY & to buy..
the theremin site..
http://www.thereminworld.com/
see all these modular systems?
please check the menu.. start with moog, roland etc. and this one..
find more about the system in their
respective sections..
this is just a list of the manufacturers urls..
formant modular synthesizer..
ein offener Formant.. sind Curtis Chips drin! opened formant with curtis chips inside!
if you want it biiig... ;-) ein formant.. bisschen grösser ;-) von aliens project.. (www.aliens-project.de) (now sold away!..above!!) --->
the formant was a project of the german electronics magazine "elektor" and is continued by helm electronics. (Hans-Joachim Helmstedt) in germany.
you can still get the book/ es gibt das Formant buch, besonders auch für einsteiger gut geeignet, die in die elektronikmusik technisch einsteigen wollen: 240 Seiten, Format 25,5 x 18,5 cm, DM 59,00, sFr 53,50, öS 431. ISBN 3-89576-099-4 gibt es auch / also at: www.elektor.de
the newer MSS2000 Formant Model is the current project.. on the site you can get some more info, but currently german only.
Korrekturen zum Formant Modular
mehr info zum formant, den mss2000 und helm elektronik: hier
zu dem thema sei auch jürgen haible und seine kreative site genannt, er hat sogar einen VCS3 nachgebaut: besonders für synthesizer DIY-Freaks.. dazu auch unser (anyware-instruments und ich, der moogulator sowie das elektro-kartell.de forum) forumodular-synthesizer! (nicht auf formant basiert!)
if you need switched trigger and want to midify it: thry to use voltage trigger= 0 v and 8-10V as "sitched" trigger for moog. it works on prodigy and others..
Sequenzer Literatur DIY:
Doepfer/Langer: "MIDI-Analog Sequenzer - Sound der 70er mit moderner Technik", erschienen im Elektor Verlag, Aachen 1995 ISBN 3-89576-017-X
dieser Sequencer ist nichts anderes als der MAQ16/3 von doepfer zum nachbauen.
