The #LMN3 #raspberrypi #synthesizer made quite the splash in the media some weeks ago. In this video (sponsored by https://www.pcbway.com, a service for PCBs, 3D printing, CNC and more), I build it and explore the DAW a bit. Is this really an "OP-1 - killer" that some on social media make it out to be? Index:

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
