Status:

A complete synthesizer has been built with the current documents here. This instrument has been road tested on a few gigs. The current files represent a working instrument.

There are a few small PCB kludges required, and some potential future enhancements. See the github Issues and github Discussions for little things that could be improved and an idea of what may change in the future.

The synth is constructed with semi-independent PCBs and panels for the major circuit blocks, which allows for gradually upgrading the components over time.
