I've been doing a lot of building, patching, and recording lately. Getting better at the whole "video and audio record patches" thing, using my GoPro and Kdenlive video editing software on Linux. Here are three recent patches- my synth is growing and I think it sounds pretty wild.

Some beeps, bloops, and drones, experimenting with control voltage feedback:

A random-ish sequence generated by various clocks to shift register to r/2r ladder to VCO:

Qmidiarp MIDI sequencer running on Linux, sending MIDI to iOS which generates the sound, which is then manipulated via analog circuits and a digital reverb unit.Also, if you're following this project you might be interested to know I uploaded almost all the circuits to GitHub. They are mostly slight variations of circuits I found on the internet. Go look at the original circuits, not mine! Here's my repo:
