Music Thing Modular Workshop System: patch, hack, code, mic, jack in

Tom Whitwell and Thonk have revealed their latest: a complete modular system ready to be tote in its own hard case.

Brunswick is a grimy patchable synth kit with BEEF, for under £99

It’s a great time to love synths, even on a budget. The latest entry is the DIY Brunswick kit from Future Sound Systems in the UK. It’s simple (one oscillator), but weird and dirty sounding – and you can patch this semi-modular instrument to your own delight. And the price is under £99.
