I normally tell people interested in analog computing to just buy some modular synthesizer gear (or download one of the many free software implementations) but this is a surprisingly affordable alternative. The documentation is especially good, since modular synths and their documentation are aimed at musicians rather than engineers, and so tend to begin with oscillators rather than scalars.

The analog thing uses 3.3v signals which is a common standard, but 5v is nowadays much more popular on modular synths due to the predominance of the Eurorack format. If you know for sure that you enjoy making bleep bloop noises as well as doing Science! then you might want to go with modular gear form the start, since you'll also have access to a vast universe of filters, function generators, and so on.
