step 1 for a synth nerd/obsessives is to monitor DIY versions…
I’ve stalked a few of the originals & inevitably bailed out
when they passed $2k beyond my budget…

And I kinda failed even being aware of version 1 of this DIY edition
but as posted previously, version 2 is currently available
and these atoms arrived today: case & PCBs
Next step: ordering the BOM
Next step: further patience, waiting for all elements to come into stock
current estimate: October… OCTOBER!? WTF?
ok then… I’ve waited a year or two to get to this point
Still don’t know who is going to build this for me
but it sure won’t be me…

patience is a virtue
