Who''s Soldering on a Friday Night?

The majority of the kitted synths shipped this week, not all, but most. The first one was built this week by someone other than me. I'm glad to see that the build was successful. I love the smell of validation. At the very least, it means that everything is coming out correct. And I couldn't be happier than that. Built synths start to ship next week. Tomorrow, I'm having a little solder party with some friends to hopefully get close to finishing the Kickstarter orders entirely. I've got about 10 finished, and another 10 in some state of finish. Tomorrow, we'll be taking down a good portion of the last 10.

If you hadn't read in the forum, the pcb house neglected to cut slots for the DC power jack. This means you'll have to basically flush cut the tabs and solder it on. I haven't noticed any mechanical problems with that, but you'll want to have it close to the board when the case comes together.

On that note, I've finished the case design and will be getting samples next week. I'm waiting for my wife to finish jazzing up the engraving to order it. It's going to be made from black acrylic. I think it'll be pretty sweet
