Hi there!

I came across Hackaday's musical instrument challenge the other week and thought I'd give it a shot. Over the past couple of days I've come up with the basic concept for the synthesizer (which I'm calling the "Moon Germs" synth) and done some preliminary industrial design work as well as electronics architecture. Put in my first order for some parts (it quickly added up to about 150 bucks, hopefully I don't have to spend much more). 

I'm also very excited to mess around with the Teensy Audio shield. It seems like it's more than capable of making cool noises. Really hoping I can knock this thing out before the submission deadline. It will be a challenge for sure! Up next is the internal component layout and preliminary CAD. 

Been listening to the Blade Runner sound track as inspiration :)
