Well I say "us", but it's really just me, Rory.

I started doing synth stuff in early 2021, making DIY projects from my bedroom, and selling a few PCB kits online.

My philosophy when it comes to synthesisers is the antithesis of the concept of 'startup culture', which to me seems like a very harmful approach to what is essentially a process of sharing ideas that will make other people happy.

Perhaps I am still naive, but this approach of engaging with a community where designs are shared under copyleft and free hardware licenses certainly seems to be working so far, and I've been able to develop things far beyond what I would have been able to had the information I needed been hidden behind a paywall.
