    Hi ! for me it's very difficoltous follow you because my schoolastic english dont permit me to understand all you say but I want to send my great admiration and compliments for yous activity in that you put a great energy and creativity. The genre of your music is not really mine but I have always enjoyed your videos. I have seen others from which I understand that you are the builder of all your equipment! Also I am a builder of sinths but yours are absolutely unconventional !. I try to build modules with a nice small panel, the same knobs etc. You draw the panels with a marker, but everything works beautifully! Very unconventional your modular where there is even the puppet that acts as a bell and another module - which I did not understand what it is - with eyes and false teeth! Even a module, probably an overdriver, showed an electronic valve !!.
    Truly unique!
    I will follow you in your videos since I will now subscribe to your channel.
    One last thing:
    if you were to ask for some schematics of your modules you would be willing to send them to me?

Maybe reach out to him on Twitter, or pledge a small amount on Patreon to have a better chance at him answering your question about schematics. You can imagine with a following this large, he gets a lot of comments and cannot answer most of them sheerly due to the volume. Also, the way I understand it, the false teeth and eyes just move around while the music is going...purely an awesome visual add on.
