The Next Stage: PCB

A project log for PolyMod: modular digital synthesizer

A customisable digital synthesizer. Works like an analogue modular synthesizer but cheaper, and with the ability to play many notes at once.

It's been a couple of days since the Hackaday Prize finals submission deadline. I told myself I'd let this project sit for a while, since it now works well, but as I looked at the other projects with their neat schematics and PCB layouts, I realised I wanted to push my synth to that level. I'm now learning to use KiCad and it's really fun. I'm sure it'll take me a while to get my head around the process, but it would be really cool to be able to produce a version of my synth that doesn't take hundreds of hours to make, so here goes...

I've got a bunch of other commitments but I'm aiming to get a PCB version of my synth working by the end of the year.
