Really great project and nice collection ! There also are some non-open source but still hackable synth out there, such as the Korg NTS-1. It's not exactly DIY but a "mount it yourself kit" and Korg maintains a C and C++ SDK for oscillo and fx.

Funny part with the x0xb0x, the creator mentioned that the x0xb0x is free as "Free your mind and your ass will follow", the funkiest open source clause

Amazing! Is there any chance you'd know how to add my little digital addition? https://github.com/kzalesak/Digisynth

Or alternatively, what changes would it need to be eligible?

Thanks to Mutable Instruments for putting out there all that DSP code.

If it helps anyone, bom-squad.com is a very similar project and the whole site behind it is on github as well. Full disclosure I contributed to this project myself.

Anyone tried the SC1000 in this list? I want to make this, but as a MIDI controller instead of having self-contained music.

I you want a really accessible diy synth project: I recently did an m8 headless build inside of an anbernic r33s. It's basically lego, though you can do a little soldering if you want to, to connect the teensy directly to the r33s board (I used an external cable). And the m8 is one of the best portable synths out there. Cost me like 60€ total.

I built the ardutouch and it was a fun experience: https://notes.atomutek.org/diy-music-synth.html

I recommend it for a first hardware project.

I recently initiated myself into groovebox world with the Yamaha Seqtrak and just oadt week with the OP-XY.

Despiste YouTube critic about DIY Synth, I would give this project a Deep dive because I found myself looking at the NTS-1 / 3 this pasta week.

THX a lot

Great project!

If the database grows it would be nice to be able to exclude tags, not only to include them. I'd like to exclude anything modular for example.

Great collection!

Are there any very affordable DIY midi control surfaces with a few knobs, pads, keys (two octaves), and BT?
