I stumbled across this after viewing a Venus Theory UVI Orchestral II video. At $29.00 U.S., I was blown away by the tone & features for such a small device. All done in an Open Source environment.

For me, the eighth wonder of the world! Thanks, @quadcore64, for the great news!

 

doesn't sound that impressive to me, but its still really cool, and looks like a lot of fun. It doesn't sound bad or anything, but sounds pretty pedestrian. Im going to get one anyways lol, will be fun to experiment with the code and is useful for building out a portable, dedicated "juno" for live use. For 50 bucks or so and a free weekend, you could turn this into a full midi mapped, desktop synth. Thanks for sharing!

 

I thought this one would be a people pleaser. Something needed in the current environment imho.

I thought it sounded very nice. Especially compared to over-priced software synths. Rich & full on the House of Marley speakers connected to my desktop. Also on the ATH-50x phones. At $29 & not a one trick pony, why not!
