George DornSpent a bit of time at a local guitar pedal & synth expo, mostly for the synth part. I was surprised how much of the synth examples were "here's my version of Teenage Engineering's OP-Z" or other various digital synths-in-a-box. Kinda disappointing, really. Barely any eurorack, and nobody selling DIY kits!
4ms was there, and their racks were cool enough, but they were promoting their MetaModule, which is basically a Pi running an entire VCV Rack install embedded in a eurorack module. Seriously, you can call up any virtual module you want and wire up everything virtually. At that point, why have a real rack?
PDX Synth Library was there, and had some neat rack builds. One was a skiff made from a section of PVC conduit, with the lid + handle also serving as the stand... Seems like something that would be very easy with a handful of 3d-printed inserts.
But yeah, not really much else for the #synthdiy hobbyist.
