MICRODEXED - DIY 80s home studio in a nutshell

Here's how to build and use the MicroDexed #diy #synthesizer based on a #teensy 4.1 microcomputer, plus a short demo improvisation. This kit will give you 2 virtual DX7 FM synthesizers, one virtual analog synth, a drum computer, an electric piano, a powerful sequencer and effects in one small, portable box (if you care to build the box).

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
