I built the Antumbra Rings clone kit last week, also bought from Pusherman. Also a very quick and easy build, only 2 LEDs, 2 switches, 5 pots, 5 trimmers and 10 jacks, so it took less than 30 minutes. This was Panel + PCB with pre-soldered SMT. I'm very happy with the result!
I was lucky enough to buy one of these pre-built as, like 99% of people, I cannot solder. Very happy with it and would buy another if I could find one!
@@MeeBilt 1000% production value of my attempts to create diy videos, even for my own modules. And I wonder how hard it is to get an audience, even with such dedicated content. I made one of the first “elmyra 2 in depth videos” and get plenty of views due to the fact that there is not much else to see but not a single subscription for it… anyway, I’m here to promote my music and my modules. But, if I decide to sell kits I keep you in mind:)
The firmware was pre-programmed in the STM32 so I didn't have to flash it myself. The module supports Mutable Instruments original firmware, so you could use that I guess: pichenettes.github.io/mutable-instruments-documentation/modules/plaits/firmware/
I hope it's OK to say that I find your videos very relaxing, and the lack of pumping techno is appreciated. :) This was very helpful as well... given what you said about component shortages, do you think paying the extra for only jacks, pots and LEDs was worth it compared to buying just a PCB + Panel?
Thank you very much for your nice comment, I also find too loud music distracting in videos so I try to keep the level and BPM down. The problem with sourcing components is that you will have to buy them from different places, adding shipping cost and in some cases there is a MOQ (minimum order quantity). And it also takes a lot of time and effort to look up the parts, figure out replacements in case they are hard to find. In case of the KNIT there are 3 options Base PCB/Panel kits, preassembled SMT kits or Fully Built kit. No Presoldered SMT PCB kits unfortunately. So, Yes I thought that it was worth the extra cost.

Congrats, that's a great module too!

Yeah, it's a great module.
Great work, thanks
Glad you liked it!

Have you got a link on how to program the software when you have finished building this module please.

Mine was a pre build
The led jack lights were too bright for me, I jumpered mine off straight away.
N joy✌️

Thanks for your comment and grammar tip - Ok, from now on I will pronounce it right 😄
