Macchiato Mini Synth Digital Synthesizer DIY Kit with Cabinet

The Macchiato Mini Synth is a fun, great-sounding, easy-to-use digital synthesizer that fits in the palm of your hand — and you build it yourself from a fun and easy kit! (Soldering is necessary.) Comes with a shiny black acrylic cabinet kit. (Gluing is necessary.) Requires 9V DC power. Use a battery (not included) or a 9V DC center-negative power supply, such as a guitar pedal supply. If you are an Arduino enthusiast, you can hack the open-source software that runs the Macchiato,  or download updates and flash them to your synth for a whole new sound. Fun for DIY audio enthusiasts, geeks, hacks, 8-bit nerds, chip music heroes , teachers, musicians, kids, aunts, gramps and champs. Connect with your music: build your own gear! Detailed assembly instructions and user guides are available for free download direct from the manufacturer.
