Omg! These are f*img awesome.

[DJHollowLife69]

good luck getting that on a plane lol they would look at it like a bomb but seriously that is a cool instrument!

[darkopage]

Does the "Deluxe-All-In-One" on your website come with the Alltoids tin boxes?

[MarbleMad]

@darkopage No but I do sell them separately if you can't find your own. It saves you money if you can find them yourself though. In the UK they sell them in some Morrisons stores and they should be easy to find in the US.

[lBenHarrison]

The kits on your website, does it come to you all put together or do you have to put it together yourself? Because I want one, but I don't want to put it together.

[MarbleMad]

@lBenHarrison It's a kit. You have to solder it together yourself.

THis is so cool! I bet it sounds amazing through an amp or even a proper PA.

@gameguide10159 Minty freshness.

[gameguide10159]

horray for super late replies!!!

[ventouse]

I guess it's one 9v battery

[3v45b5]

well then, I do miss having my synth whilst on route.......I see possibilities :D

[3v45b5]

that is most nifty! great job. I suppose fellow trainpassengers would not like me to ever get my hands on one of those :)

[MarbleMad]

It has a headphone socket :) But I'm sure your fellow passengers would LOVE to hear the performance.

[MarbleMad]

Tomorrow!

On Sunday I'm going to make a quick movie of the finished product and on Monday I should have all the parts I need to make up an initial run of around 200 synths and sequencers.

:) Price is going to be around 15 - 20 uk pounds for each unit.

[youseemreallybored]

can you give me a link to it?

i can't find it.

[MarbleMad]

added it to the (more info) section.

[youseemreallybored]

ready yet???

[paulieka]

Mate that's some trippy shit! you should set up a business and shiz... those things would take off :D

[censer93]

heh so been watching this for a while and was twicthing for an update on the kit status :)

this is just amazing

[MarbleMad]

it's more or less ready but I'll be working for 'the man' for the next 3 weeks so that's going to hold it up a little...only 3 weeks though.

[censer93]

very exciting thanks for the update

[youseemreallybored]

how many altoids tins do you need for it?

3?

[youseemreallybored]

well im just twelve but probably with the help of my brother i could do it...

sweet...

thanks man...

looking forward to the kit...

peace!

[youseemreallybored]

sweet im pretty excited about it...

now i have one more question...

is it really hard to make???

[MarbleMad]

difficult to answer without knowing your skill level. Advanced beginner level I'd say. If you've assembled electroics kits before this should be easy enough. If you've never used a soldering iron before I'd suggest maybe assemble a VERY basic kit before this or even just do some practice on a bit of prototyping board before tackling this. The parts are packed quite densely.

[youseemreallybored]

how much american dollars do you think itll be?

[MarbleMad]

Not sure yet. It's a bit more complex than my theremin kit. The cost of all those jack plugs and sockets add up but I'll try to keep it as inexpensive as I can.

[youseemreallybored]

im very sad that i dont have one of these!!!!!

im goin to send santa like fifty letteers asking for one exactly like this!!!!!!!

[MarbleMad]

I have a kit almost ready. just go to finish off the last of the instructions and source some inexpensive 3.5mm stereo jack plugs and they'll be up for sale on my web page.

[youseemreallybored]

dude can you tell me where i can get a kit for this!!!!!

its so hackin awesome!!!!!!!

[marcelomar2]

5/5 can you play "I feel love" with it?

[Yotunen]

love it.

[becomingzero]

One of the best diy creations on youtube. Friggin awesome. KIT KIT KIT and then some :)

[MarbleMad]

The synth pcb is in production right now and the sequencer pcb is designed .. just have to test it before sending that for production too. I've made a few little tweeks. Added a volume control and I've modded the sequencer to get better range on the controls. Bit of a kludge but it works.

[becomingzero]

Looking forward to it. It's a very impressive little monster. There's potential for some riot noise with one of these amongst the noisy kit. Got a feeling these are going to go really quick though. Do you have a mailing list or any way of knowing when you'll have them available.

Cheers,

Shane.

[MarbleMad]

Just keep an eye on the web site.

[becomingzero]

Ah just checked your site. I'll keep an eye out. Reckon i'll get one of those horses in a bit too. :)
