Post 600!

Interestingly, it has been almost a year since I made my 500th Post! So what has happened in that time? Here is a summary of some of the main things I've been talking about: I've now done a fair bit with my Korg Volcas. I was just getting to know them this time last year, … Continue reading Post 600! →

MiniDexed 3D Printed Cases

I've used my modular Raspberry Pi 2,3,4 A+/B+ Synth Case to create a variant for the two versions of my RPi Zero MiniDexed IO Board PCB Design. There is also now a version for my MiniDexed Raspberry Pi IO Board V2 Design too. The OpenSCAD file should allow for a range of variants to be produced, but I've … Continue reading MiniDexed 3D Printed Cases →
