This looks/sounds awesome. I'm an absolute beginner in the world of electronics, but I think I'm gonna go for it. I've been dreaming of a synth almost exactly like this for several years now, but had no idea how to go about building it!
So, I've got a couple of questions before I order up:

1. What's the approx. price difference if I were to order the parts myself vs the kit that comes with all that. Is it really that much of a hassle to source the parts?

2. What's the pitch range of the oscillators on this thing?
