What is it?

The Minichord is a pocket sized chord and harp synth, like the Omnichord. It allows you to play chords and variations of many chords, and then strum or pluck notes in that specific chord with the harp.

This is a SMD assembled main PCB for the Minichord and two different strum plates for it.

What's included

• SMD assembled main PCB
• One regular harp strum plate
• One wider strum plate
• RGB LED for status (5mm RKGB LED) (not pictured)
• Battery connector (JST PH 2mm 2pin male angled) (not pictured)

In order to finish the build, you will need:

• All other through hole components, e.g. switches, keycaps, pots. There is a Mouser basket for these parts on the link below)
• Battery (503450 1000mAh battery needed)
• Case (you can 3D print this, or order a 3D printed version)
• Teensy 4.0

Why did you make it?

I made some as gifts and I had one left over! It's an amazing instrument.

What makes it special?

It's super fun and easy to play. Unique and also surprisingly hard to find right now.
