Great little soundbox!
For Rakit Metal Synth Kit/Assembled
This little box has a voice that fits in great with my little mini-rig.
I have it paired to a Baby8 for doing on the fly adjustable fills from the sequencer, and it works great!
It's a fun build, too, with the directions being very clear, and easy to follow.

Mini Atari Punk Console
For Mini Atari Punk Console Kit
By itself, it makes a good drone generator.
With a Baby8, you can do some pretty sweet, but simple, things. Worth the price and time to build!

Delightful little sequencer.
This build results in a neat little 8 step sequencer, which can be run directly off of Korg's clock pulse.
I've got mine set up to share pulse with a second one so that the Atari MPC and the Metal (both from Rakit as well) have their own 8 step sequencers, so go with the Beatstep Pro, FSS Portland, FSS Brunswick, and Volca Modular and Volca Beats

If you need a daisychaining summing mixer... This. Get this.
For Rakimix 5 Channel Mixer Kit
If you're even a little comfortable with soldering (I mean, you're on Tindie. You probably are?) this is a great little daisychainable summing mixer.
I needed it to sum the volca percussion synths i have on my desk in a little mini-DAWless set up I faff about with when i'm struck with inspiration, and it's absolutely fantastic for what i needed.
I would highly recommend this kit for soldering practice too, it's all thru-hole parts and the instructions are easy to follow.

A fun toy that can do much more, backed by awesome people.
I purchased this along with their mini APC module, intending to get soldering practice and make some fun sounds after. The APC was a breeze, while the Baby8 was a little more daunting. It isn't surface mount, but tight ish for a beginner. Documentation on Rakit's website is clear and easy to follow. When I assembled my Baby 8 (with only one switch on the wrong side of the board) the last step always skipped. I emailed Rakit's customer service, and Darren at Rakits worked with me, asking for pictures and troubleshooting. He determined I had a short in a switch and sent me a new kit free of charge! Second unit works perfectly, can't wait to get their other kits.

Fun, easy to assemble, and cute
For Mini Atari Punk Console Kit
The kit came in a solid box filled with foam and haribo treats :-)
It took me a solid hour to assemble it but I like to take my time and check things thrice.
The sound is totally what you'd expect from this kind of toy, and the cat is impressed :D

Excellent
I am not a musician but baby8 gives me a lot of joy during the construction as well as when creating strange, noise sounds. The construction is simple, the instructions are clear and intuitive. I will definitely buy something else with the RAKIT logo :).
PS. The stickers were a really nice addition

Super fun kit!
This is a great little kit and fun to build. Delivery was super quick, and it was well packaged. Following the online instructions made building easy - although the blue-bodied resistors can be a bit hard to read if your lighting isn't great. This is an excellent introduction in to the world of sequencers and synths, although I'm sure it's a very capable bit of kit for those more experienced in such things too.
