well, it's still very under construction, but here's that modular info site i was talking about: https://modular.trashbyte.io

here's a few of the more-completed pages, including a build guide for the mixer module:

workin on a build guide for the mixer module kit!

i updated my patreon tiers to add more tiers and rewards. note that some rewards (like exclusive physical merch) aren't actually available yet, but i'll do my best to try to remedy that.

mainly i just need money, so i can like, pay rent and stuff. and *hopefully* pay for more modular synth development.

any support you can offer is greatly appreciated ❤️

im a menace

i can also do this neat two color thing but it makes the shadows even worse

sample photo with my lightbox. im not totally happy with the diffusion of the lighting or the whiteness of the backdrop but its something

@daylight modular synthesizer stuff

cant we just overthrow capitalism already smh

i probably qualify for a COVID-19 relief check, for as much as $1200, but afaik i need to file my taxes first to be eligible, and due to having an "unusual case" (some weird college fund penalty fees) i need to pay like $100 to file (or try to file manually but that sounds like a disaster)

i'm in a really annoying place financially right now. i'm *just* on the cusp of being able to sell product but there's a bunch of expenses between here and there so i'm just spending the days researching *how* to file an LLC, what accounting software is good (that i cant buy yet), what supplies and equipment i *would* need to buy, etc. it's kinda demoralizing.

i'm not trying to guilt anyone into giving me money or anything, i'm just frustrated

aaaaaand here they is

mixer pcbs are here. panels are supposed to arrive later today

blathers my friend, today is your lucky day

sadly i cant quite say it was a *nice* trip

well that was a lucrative island

me in real life: flinches at pretty much any flying insect.
me in animal crossing: shaking trees for hours hoping a swarm of angry bees will come out so i can take them and sell them for money

@roxy if there is a limit, it shouldn't matter too much because eventually you'll be able to just terraform whatever you want

building a little cardboard lightbox for doing product photography. just need some white poster board for the backdrop and i'll be all set

the parts for the mixer module showed up but the knobs dont fit the pots snugly and also are like twice the size i was expecting, so it looks like im gonna need to make another order. neither the pcbs nor the panels have arrived yet, so no big deal.

also i'm working on an online store for selling modules/kits/pcbs/panels/whatever, as well as a ✨pretty✨ informational site, because i cant be arsed to completely re-style the canned online storefront im using lmao. plus the info site is gonna have a little wiki explaining all kinds of modular stuff to help beginners get started. so expect that soon-ish!
