Absolute insanity. Look at the PCB layout and schematic! I love this project, even if I can't click on the helicopter money. There's a video here https://youtu.be/B44-N4iJcH4 https://youtu.be/B44-N4iJcH4

  It would be helpful to hear some sounds it can generate.

    I'd love a cash register sound, something like http://cd.textfiles.com/sbmm/SOUNDS/REGISTER.WAV http://cd.textfiles.com/sbmm/SOUNDS/REGISTER.WAV

  Is this one satire as well?

    No it is very real and very cool, they make some of the raddest synths around

    No, but they're both eurorack semimods with insane, repatchable circuits.

  A Buchla/Moog-style hybrid! Thank you very much for sharing that one! Creates really interesting sounds. Here is their playlist "patch of the week": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZphtLBSPXY&list=PL0jGFC0FWQsibB70m5DD66jcsNmjBtvrv&index=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZphtLBSPXY&list=PL0jGFC0FWQ... The first one did not get me, but the rest contains several gems.

When I see projects like this I think "you know, I'm pretty sure we're going to be alright". If the maker sees this - thanks for making the world a weirder place.

Bravo. This restores my confidence that there are still creative hackers out there doing things besides trying to "get funded".
