Pocket-size subtractive, hackable DYI synth

Making of the Synth

I have been fascinated by synthesizers from a very early age. My best friend's dad ran a wedding band and he owned Roland JX-3P (guessing the model from my memory of silver buttons with red LEDs inside). When he allowed us to touch it after lots of nagging, and we powered it on, my ears immediately noticed it was something out of this world. I lived in Czechoslovakia, a country run by communists, that no longer exists. We spent our days duplicating 10th copy of illegally imported tapes through cheap "International" branded double decks.
