      I hate to say it but to make it sound better you really gotta give it some extra juice, maybe some actual eurorack modules to go along with it, once you hit the whatever thousand mark that satisfies your tonal pallet, you'll understand easy with 1-2k total invested including this kit, if you can tune into what to get. I feel like this one fell kinda flat for you, whereas you can really get a lot more out with most other bad gear. Anyways, awesome episode, great way to make some lemonade out of it ;) I watch every week and appreciate your work!

      I've been playing synths since the late 80s, and have played or owned most of the major synths, and the OP-1 is by far my favorite I've ever used. It's the only instrument I own that if it broke, I'd buy a new one the next day.

      it's currently reduced to clear on their website too I think. Def seems like you're just meant to get both of them (so that'd be like $750 when it came out?) or the POM-170 as some inbetween thing. Even sillier power supply nonsense in the POM-16, have to take it apart to put in new batteries...
      Pretty sure I suggested this episode so happy to see it! I think this synth at that price with the modules being basic af and clearly separated could make it a pretty neat learning tool, most the alternatives people suggest tend to have a much more condensed and therefore confusing layout, which is fine if you already know what you're doing.

    I find the whole concept of building your own synth quite tempting. Not at that price though. I remember seeing build your own kits for the Korg MS20. Once again, cool idea, but if memory serves, actually more expensive that just buying a made one.
    You still really need to do the Korg mini bits synth. Great vid as always btw.
