Sweet
For Vortex Generator Eurorack 10HP
Great little module, easy to build and a nice addition to any rack. Not sure what else to say, but apparently I need to write some more words for this review;) Thumbs up!

A great module :)
For Vortex Generator Eurorack 10HP
Adds lots of sonic possibilities to a rack. A must-have Function Generator... With a Vortex!
Very happy with the result. Great support from Spherical Sound Society.

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!!

So much fun for so little cost and work!
For Glitch Storm Multidimensional DIY Synth
This is a perfect beginner kit for those into electronic music, sound design, or video game sounds. I have only played around with it for an hour, but there are so many usable sounds that can be coaxed out of this device. I am a relatively inexperienced solderer and it took me around an hour to build. The most tedious part is soldering the header pins on the arduino itself. Everything else on the pcb itself is very well laid out with plenty of space. Quite a musical machine despite being "glitchy. " As a bonus the pots came with knobs so you don't have to fuss with the mini-pot stems. It has a mono signal (I think), but a stereo audio jack which makes it useful for playing through headphones or computer speakers. Overall a great kit!

Straight-forward design and immediately useful!
For Vortex Generator Eurorack 10HP
I really love designers who pack a ton of function into these Arduino platforms and then mount it on a neatly-designed, simple through-hole package made of fairly easy to find parts! This came together pretty quickly and I was immediately getting some fun new shapes out of my sound that I hadn't had before - thanks!
