Description #
Bad influences in my life led me down the wrong path again, and this time I ended up in a very interesting project by Polykit. It was a monophonic analog synthesizer. To be more precise, the design was thought in a modular way to make possible to build a polyphonic synthesizer with many voices as needed, just using enough voice cards. I liked very much that design, but the only downside I saw was the considerable size of the PCB. So I started to make a new PCB using SMD components, not with the intention of actually building the synth, but as an exercise to improve my skills with KiCAD (designing PCBs is good to de-stressing). A few months later, Polykit published his design for the mainboard, whose PCB I also ended up redesigning with SMD parts.
