Kickstarter Funding is Over

Wow. What a ride this has been. There were many moments when I was questioning what I'd gotten myself into and many more stressful moments sweating the details. I feel entirely committed to providing the people who've supported me with the best I can possibly deliver and there were times I wondered if I'd just cancel the whole thing. Forunately, during the Kickstarter project, I made some solid revisions to the design that ironed it all out. I can feel pretty confident that what I'm going to ship is an entirely worthwhile piece of kit.

It's all fun with a good bit of work from here. I'll be ordering the PCBs and the parts this week. PCBs will take 4 weeks plus shipping to make it to me. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to tweak the code although it's entirely functional already. It's hard for a programmer to call something finished, especially when what you're programming is something as subjective as sound. Also, I'm going to start putting together kits so that when the boards do arrive, I can get to shipping.

I've also got to figure out the case. I've pretty much decided that the Envision Case just doesn't do the synth justice. It's too generic and industrial looking. I'd rather have something distinctive or at least interesting. The acrylic cases for WTPA and Shruthi seem like at least a decent plan. I'm going to find a local shop and quote it out.

I'll continue to post progress and shoot some photos of stuff as it comes together. I'll be numbering the first completed units to make them a little more special as members of the first limited run. That should make them a little more special.

I've also got plans for my next couple designs. The new ones are guaranteed to rock and shock. I have to keep these on the down low though because there is nothing like it in the world today and I don't want any thought thieves to get there before I do.

Cheers and thanks again for all the enthusiastic support.
