Currently gathering materials for the prototype build. The MIDI EVI is not that complicated of a build, especially with 3D print technology now available. You can print up a custom EVI body now, which can be much easier than gathering all the tools, etc. This is ideal for a DIY EVI.

Prototype will initially be simple - a sandwich of plexiglass with a cannister, open design with spacers. Finished versions may include a 3D printed enclosure or a custom wood body with a wood canister!

The components are amazingly tiny. The Teensy 3.2 is astonishingly micro-sized. The MPR121 is also tiny. This will leave lots of room to work with inside the EVI body, and allow for a greater option for powering the EVI.
