It also features three previously unreleased tracks: "Stephen Stephen," written for and originally performed on Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report; "The Apples in stereo Theme Song," recorded for the band's website; and the highly anticipated "Dreams," a previously unfinished track from 1997's Tone Soul Evolution.

Side projects allow musicians the freedom to explore interests outside of their core band. While countless metal and punk fans stay rooted in genres directly, many of the artists involved love electronic music.
It kinda depends on how deep or high level you want....+1 for ardiuino. Do a search for "Adafruit midi". Great company and great YouTube channel. Their midi glove or capacitive touch sensors (I.e.banana piano) both would be great starter projects. You can also get "Midi Shields" for the ardiuino on eBay if you don't what to do the soldering and connections. Check out Adafruit' ARDX kit for a good starter kit for the arduino.
There are many kits available to start with the electronics. But please specify that at what level you want to start and also which kind of DIY kits you want.Because also many types of DIY of application based kits are available.
I'm an electronics technician (6 years now) and I used to repair synthesizers for a living (MARS Amp Repair, Denver Colorado *now defunct). Repairing synths was probably my best experience to learn what I needed to know about synthesizers and audio hardware in general. I spent a lot of time studying schematics of many different instruments in order to determine a problem and even came up solutions to unsolved problems with various keyboards by doing so (nord electro power problems, Roland D-50 key release issues, Restoring a Yamaha CS-80 *holy hell).
During the 1980's crossover from analog to digital a ton of synths had analog guts with digital control. Some fun projects are 1980's Korg synths (Poly 61, Poly 800, Akai AX series etc...). These will need some repairs usually and digging in to figure out whats wrong will teach a ton of things. Once you have them up and running you can start pulling out analog controls from the circuits. Using your oscilloscope you can make changes on the digital control panel and poke around to see where those changes are happening. If you tap into the circuit you can install potentiometers and turn these analog/digital synths into full blown analog. Great learning experience there as you begin to understand what different parts of the circuits are doing.
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask, this is something I have knowledge about and I like to help when I can. I'm not really open to just doing it for you though, I barely have enough time for my own projects.
