TBH I didn't understand any of the concepts you mentioned, and that's with background knowledge. So I'd say you're definitely talking about way beyond the basics concepts that understanding of will only come after learning the basics and then targeting your learning at synth specific designs, which will take a lot more time and discipline than a HN post can cover. I don't have that knowledge or resources to point to unfortunately (any any book covering the topic is likely 2" thick in dead tree format...)

I feel like, as far as general electronics goes, I have the absolute basics. I understand basic components and circuits 101 stuff like voltage dividers and filters.

I have trouble with:

  - Putting all the concepts together to understand larger circuits

  - Concepts that are hard to visualize, like feedback

  - Recognizing circuits from the diagram on the PCB

Maybe I just need more practice?

Thanks for talking through this with me. :-)

this might help with the visualization aspect https://www.falstad.com/circuit/
