Any tips for learning technical synthesis/electronics for a non-engineer?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’ve been absolutely absorbed in learning synthesis for the last 2 years. I know enough know to hear a patch and have a good sense of how to dial in something similar. </p> <p>However, when it comes to the technical/electrical engineering aspects of synthesis, like voltage, hertz, capacitors, transistors… basically anything going on behind the scenes, I am completely lost. Often when I try to learn these sorts of things I find that I’m two steps behind (kinda reminds me of learning how to code…). </p> <p>I find this especially when I’m trying to patch my semi modular synths (MS 20 especially, my matriarch makes more sense). It feels like I don’t have the technical understanding to sit in the driver’s seat with my gear. </p> <p>Are there any resources out there for someone with no knowledge of electronics for learning some of the basics of the electronics side of things? Maybe while learning modular?</p> <p>I think my goal is to eventually be able to really understand my gear to the point that I could repair a synth. So I’m hoping to hear a good place to start for that type of learning (should I build a module? Should I just read and reread the manuals of my synth? Should I build a guitar pedal?)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/eagleandchild"> /u/eagleandchild </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/va3cur/any_tips_for_learning_technical/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/va3cur/any_tips_for_learning_technical/">[comments]</a></span>
