Custom synth |
culture |
I've zero experience when it comes to making any kind of hardware, but I can still dream of making a custom synthesiser, can't I?
Adding to my bucket list: making any machine capable of making musical sounds.

TODO: what synthesis method should it utilise, what sounds should it be able to make?

Real wood and a floral pattern - could be used as a front panel or a frame around it.

I like the tuning scale behind a plastic cover. Could be used to display shortcuts or visualize some element of synth internals.
