![]() The whole process allows me to build my engineering skills (I am a ME by trade and graaaaadually learning EE stuff by working with synths) and have some fun along the way! Oh, and I like to build my own stuff right here in the good ol USA. I, myself play in bands that play out and modular is not so ideal for that, hence my interest in standalong keyboards! Plus, I just think they look f**king cool! Before anyone asks, yes I know that Beringer already re-popped the Pro-One and it's probably like $200, but it's again a rack, and also I really don't like Beringer stuff (personal opinion only!). My end goal is to possibly offer these in DIY kit form if people are interested, though it seems many more people are interested in modular than keyboards here. Well, I've actually been working very hard on this for the past few months, and thought I'd start a thread to document my progress. Compiling kit pricing.Ġ2/03/19 - Open for deposits, first round of kits!Īs I have probably mentioned in a couple other threads, I had intended to build a Pro-One clone of sorts - not a rack or module, but a whole standalone monosynth.
