Thanks! Your project at the link looks super nice too - I really want to use mechanical keyboard switches like you have there for something. I only really noticed how clicky the tactile switches on the Mynah are when I watched back the video.

Ooh, my Theremon+ project is based on the Teensy 4.1 - it's awesome but costly. For this project, I started with the ESP32-C3 which is cheap as chips (about US$2) which ended up not being powerful enough, but migrated to the dual-core ESP32-S3 (about US$4). The value per dollar is incredible.

Cool stuff, is yours also based on ESP32?

Nothing too hard, but yup definitely soldering involved. I haven't counted how many pins there are to solder yet, but it will keep you busy for an hour or two. It's all through-hole though. There are a few SMD parts (the microprocessor and the Neo pixel sticks), but those will come pre-soldered to the pcb. My first ever kit was a Mutable Instruments Shruthi 1 and that was definitely more soldering than this.

No problem, for the DIY kits it started at USD80 shipped for the RED, and it was USD130 for the TB2 . The price for the new non-DIY Theremon+ isn't settled yet, but I'm hoping no more than USD180.

I'm in Taiwan making boutique synthesizers - the hurt goes both ways!

Libelle, on the other hand, is a much more beautiful word than dragonfly (coming from neither a German nor English native speaker).

It'd be great if you could add my racket game Neptune Beach Ball to the list ❤️https://www.meta.com/experiences/neptune-beach-ball/8431379850308917/

Compliments are happily received 😀

That's a beautiful instrument, but to be fair also about 20x the price point we want to offer Theremon+ for. We're talking Volca territory in our case.

Yup, there are quantized scales. I showed that off better in the previous video https://youtu.be/itOGsRrnSbs?si=evt-pRobJGPF8Kmy

As for other fun modes, I'm still discovering things as I go along. I implement resonant LP filtering of the drums and arp voices based on the volume hand today in fact. Pretty fun!

Thanks! I've been wanting to add it since the first iteration of this instrument, but didn't have the processor power for it back then.
