1/1/26 - site is still under contruction, still learning the kinks of building a site

1/5/26 - Still learning how to build the site, but here are some updates on some module ideas and some shop updates. So first as far as stocking more modules, I plan to start ordering PCBs and components next week and begin assembly and testing of them. As new additions, I plan to release a envelope generator, a ring modulator based on the yamaha cs-80, a clock divider, a 3 channel mixer, a 6 channel mixer, a colored noise module, a revision to my current whirlpool vibrato, and a sample and hold module.

I am also currently protoyping a wave shaper inspired by the Barton musical circuits BMC33 4046 Shaper, this with the added function of being able to switch between octaves and harmonies. It's an idea at the moment, but not one I'm really going to pursue. However, the 2 main module ideas I have are a flanger and chorus. With the chorus at least, instead of a basic pt2399 chip, I would be more focused onto basing it off the Electro-Harmonic's Small clone, and using readily available and affordable chips to be able to create them. The biggest obstacle would be being able to source chips for a potential flanger as BBD chips tend to be pricey and hard to find in decent quantities.

1/16/26 - Have just ordered a bunch of PCBS for production and as of today are being made. Hopefully they should come in next week and when they do, I'm going to go right into assembly. But seriously, shipping internationally is no joke, cost me an arm and a leg, so I'm hoping I'm able to make enough sales to recover from it as well as make up the production costs and have some to myself. Anyways, I am also going to start making little websites for each individual module that is going to include some descriptions, calibration guides, behind the scenes photos (hey they're fun as little bonuses when you buy a DVD, I want to give the same experience for anyone buying my modules or just browsing around!) and instructions. I'm going to try and give my own individual flare for each and every single one of them, I'm just not great at CSS/HTML, but hey, I want everyone to have an enjoyable experience!

1/28/26 - I have assembled a small handful of pcbs so far and it's coming along. I am using new techniques and tools to better assemble and test modules which where I am at, progress is going ok for the most part. A small tool can go a long way and make things easier, in this case being a small SMD hot plate I bought off of Amazon which now solders pcbs in about a minute with good consistency and efficiency instead of me having to hot air solder a single pcb for minutes and getting fatigued pretty easily. As I do, I am printing more 3d printed panels in the meantime and designing new panels for new modules and trying to zone in on the most perfect print/design. I'd say, progress is good and I'm happy with it so far. I created about 4 sites so far for specific modules and while they are just a bit cookie-cutter right now, I'll still add on to them as time goes on and see waht works and what doesn't and give them their own flare! I'd say a good stock of modules will be listed on my Etsy at least in mid to late February. I'm just hoping with the new stock it goes smoothly and people enjoy the new modules and some of the redesigns.

I have been asked before what is the business plan, what is my goal off of this and how I can make this into a bigger business. Thing is, that's not what I have in mind. To me, this is a love letter to a hobby that has reshaped my life, pushed me to develop and learn skills that I would never have thought I would ever pick up, helped me land jobs because of said skills and experience, as well as find some semblence of a call, and I wanted to give soemthing back, especially to those curious or wanting to get into synthesis and feeling intimidated by the price for basic modules or not really knowing where to start. I remember being in high school looking into modular synthesizers and was stunned by the costs of just one module and was broke at the time, thinking to even get the most basic of modules would have cost me a fortune, let alone know if I was even making the right purchase or if the module I bought was what I really needed. And that's where my true intent with my etsy shop and products comes from. I want to provide affordable modules so people can build their systems and do the most basic of setups without breaking the bank. I never intend to raise the price of any product and all I care about is people having a way to get into modular synthesis without worrying about breaking the bank. I want people to come out of my etsy shop with 4 modules that would have costed them the price of one anywhere else. It's a crazy idea, but I do it out of love for the hobby, the art.

2/13/26 - Alright, assembly/production is going smoothly (got the most part) and things look ok. Kind of had a delasy with components due to parts of the country going into an ice age, but I'm on track. I think the hardest and most tedious part of this whole journey is having to eagerly wait for pcbs to arrive after 2 weeks and find that certain modules don't work because of a tiny error in the schematic or shipping damage. More annoying than that is the whole adventure it took with 3d printing to get everything perfectly where I want it and at a point where maintenance is minimal and the prints are consistent. I want to say that the CR touches and the dual z-axis (with the 4.2.7 silent mother board) are life savers. not only making the printers go from mid to ok, but also reducing the noise. I'm still hoping with with how everything is tracking as far as components required for assembly go, everything arrives on time and everything is assembled and ready to go by the end of February. The main one being an order I made for stuff off of Tayda which might take a little bit of time, so let's see how that goes.

I am thinking of some kind of guest book or something to add to the mainsite where people can submit feedback, reviews and ideas for modules on the main site that can be seen publicly as well as including video demos of some of the modules on their individual sites. It has been recommended to me to just create a dedicated YouTube channel for that, but I do think it's easier to have everything in one location. I dunno, still something I am working on as I am chugging away at making some modules, one of which I am super excited about, that being my ring modulator idea. Sadly because the amount of parts, assembly, and the number of circuits involved, I am thinking of making it the only module in the shop to have a higher price due to those reasons. Plus, it is a big boy but one I am really pleased with and excited about using.

3/2/26 - Modules are slowly going back in stock! There have been a lot of obstacles that came in the way of selling modules again, lots of bumps and hurtles, but I tried pushing through to still get some out. I am still assembling a lot and plan to continue production, new modules are already being listed on my Etsy which I'm pretty excited about! Check it out, and thank you to anyone that has been checking out this site or my Etsy shop!

4/11/2026 - Been a bit of a minute since I last updated this. Things have been a bit hectic since I don't exact have a space to be able to pump out as many modules as I'd like, and even when I do, it takes longer to get a decent number. I have been working on both my new clock divider and ring modulator module which I'm both pretty happy about, it's just having to make sure the 3d printed panels come out perfect and fixing a little bit of the quirks here and there. But not too too bad. I wish things were a bit easier on my end to push what I had in mind at the start and keep up with any kind of demand. But life happens and I am always open to any suggestions anyone has to improve things as well as whatever module people might like!
