- For
- DIY synthesizer builders and open-hardware makers
- Worth noticing
- The sampler’s mono/stereo mode is explicitly left dependent on benchmark results; the page also links a 1:1 panel template.
Field notes
The documented design combines a 42-key split layout, 16 encoders, two faders, and a 5-inch display in a support-free printable case. The project presents an S3 build and a more elaborate P4 option, and links materials for replicating the hardware; its sampler’s mono/stereo behavior is still described as dependent on benchmark results.
