I think I've successfully managed to solder and assemble the kit version of #Plinky (v3).

Calibration of the capacitive touch surface is a bit hit or miss. Only when the audio out was plugged into something that's grounded could I complete calibration without it popping up a "check solder connection" message.

Very expensive way to practice soldering. I'd recommend a 555 timer kit from Aliexpress instead.

Plinky - 8-voice polyphonic touch synthesiser

Plinky specialises in fragile, melancholic sounds. It fits into 24HP eurorack cases, but can also be played as a standalone desktop mini-synth, with line-level stereo input and a headphone output, all powered from a micro-USB connector.
