Is this exclusively micro USB powered? Is there any ground loop noise in the audio channel?

No 5-pin MIDI In socket or 1/8 TRS to MIDI In?

Great achievement, though. I like the Sounds I’m hearing.

No, I wanted the footprint to be as small as possible. so I had to sacrifice some features!
Happy that you like the sounds! :slight_smile:

I love this thing. It’s definitely at the top of my list of things to buy. Is it a short run that might disappear forever or something that might be for sale for a while?

If there were ever a project that would convince me to learn soldering… this would be the one.

Congrats on the launch; this looks like a delight of an instrument.

Thank you very much, happy you like it!

I’m sure you could put this together if you just get a bit comfortable with a soldering iron. It’s not that many parts to put together and step by step instructions are available at the website!

Thank you!
The first run is pretty small and when they’re sold out there will probably be more. But it could take a little while before the next run is ready!

Very cool! Teensy mcu hé? Is this using onboard DAC or an external one?

#17

Thanks!
It’s indeed a Teensy, using a external uda1334 DAC!

Just built it today. Been playing with it for a couple of hours and really enjoying it. I’m curious about one thing though, PROB seems to just increase or decrease the density of note triggers in a fixed pattern rather than giving all steps their own probability to trigger. Am I missing something or is that just the design?
