A fun device, once you put it together.

For Glitch Storm Multidimensional DIY Synth

Firstly, I'd like to say that this sonic gizmo includes no documentation at all. (Even a single-page how-to would've helped.) However, if you've soldered any other projects before, it'll be fairly obvious what goes where and how (meaning, which holes are POS and which are NEG and which don't matter). The only not-obvious connection was the sleeve (GRD) for the 3.5mm out. After consulting the online photos, I rolled the proverbial dice and bent a stiff wire to fit from the hole to the appropriate prong and was up and running in little time at all. Lucky guess maybe. Oh, be mindful to bridge the indicated contacts on the underside of the PCB! Not sure what'll happen if you don't, but best to be on the look-out going into this project.

That out of the way, this little guy SCREAMS! So many sounds can be pulled from just the few knobs provided. I've barely scratched the surface I'm sure--having only just completed the build--but it is indeed VERY glitchy, but surprisingly "musical" and at times also very rhythmic. Can't wait to dive into it more!

tl;dr: Great sounding device! Would benefit from a simple guide. So long as it's not your first project, you should be fine though.

Loving your review, Robert... I agree with all, except that in the github page there´s the BOM listed, so it has all the info you need to build this evil machine :D. Anyway maybe I should just print it and include in the packaging... nice suggestion.

There´s also a thread in Muffwliggers with some hackings explained the expand even more the machine possibilities.

You can take a look. Enjoy!!

Cheers!!
