I put down my soldering iron to attempt to make some music with my creation.

My goodness do I love how it sounds. Sure it's imperfect– I'm positive I've done a million weird things in my circuits– but it makes a wonderful noise. Actually, many noises.

And of course by playing this instrument, I can figure out what I need more of. Right now that is mixers, VCAs, and envelope generators.

Thanks! It's impossible for me to do anything too fancy (I don't have a drill press, no metal to make panels, etc) so I guess I'm "leaning into" the limitations. Wood, sharpies, and bolts work just fine. Thanks for watching!
