Why?
Why not?
Use it to control norns, ORAC, PiSound, softsynths, modular, etc.
Reminder - This is DIY
This is a Do It Yourself project. It’s designed to be easy to build for someone with basic thru-hole soldering skills (with an smd-assembled pcb). This is not intended to be a “finished” product for purchase.
Per the lines trade rules - please, no discussion of buying/selling in this thread. A trade thread will be started/linked when it becomes available.
Support for builds, tech-issues, etc. can be found in this thread.
Status
Not yet available. Beta testing now. Aiming for mid-March release.
Hardware is good to go. MIDI keyboard works great. Sequencer software is still somewhat alpha. No documentation.
How / Where / When?
I am looking at making kits available for purchase.
