Just one for now... trying to figure the workflow out.

(but gazillions of ideas for more...)

One part is only available from Taiwan, and Chinese PCBs are considered not onyl cheaper but also superior to German ones. But other than that, afaik all parts, processors, printing and assembly are done in Germany.

I would have expected a fully-fledged $3000 synth
Why, it is. Try building a Eurorack synth for less than 3k

I meant a classic stand-alone synth with keyboard and everything

I assume it would sell better than a Eurorack module.

Yeah, probably. And maybe one day we will do this, too, once we have enough experience in the hardware route.

i think its more of a creative need than a business decision. a labour of love if you will

Hehehe, yes, our module is supposed to be very cool for entry level racks and beginners. Like I said elsewhere, I prefer racks of 15-25 modules. This module might add a lot of musical value to such a setup.

Will there be a reverse-dinosaur crossgrade to move back to hardware?

Maybe wait until we reveal what it is. I think atm we're not 100% sure what exactly it does.

the not knowing makes it more exciting!

My goodness... I can almost smell a real hardware Diva coming.

But seriously - how do you find time to do all these things? Either you must be the best person in the world with time management - or you simply do not sleep.

Precisely. I'm not 100% sure of 'exactly' what at least a third of my modules do. But there-they-are, beckoning to me, to embrace my ignorance, and the joy of discovering unforeseen wonders.

Hm, assuming those 1-4 jacks are outputs I'd assume a gate sequencer/mangler of some sort.

15 employees & freelancers...

The hardware PCB design, part search and deployment is done by our friends over at Tubbutec. I just had to say what I need, and now (a few months later) we have a prototype in the room next to mine. One of our developers is coding the firmware as we speak.

I spent a good portion of my recent vacation scribbling "what happens when you push this button". Can't wait to try in a rack!

So exciting
