Hi, I'm Juanito, the guy behind the tiny one-person (me!) synthesizer outfit called Modular for the Masses. My goal with this brand was to enable anybody with a small number of dollars to build themselves a sophisticated modular synthesizer.

    Tin cans, RCA jacks and cables, cheap uncased power supplies (or crazier, a couple power bricks taped together)... I built a large, heavy, sophisticated modular synthesizer out of old pallets, tin cans, reused Ethernet cable, and chips, potentiometers, jacks, LEDs, resistors, caps, Arduinos, switches... all the goodies I could find for Very Cheap on AliExpress.

    For whatever reason, only like two or three other people I know of ever started building tin can synthesizers, so in order to get my creations into the hands of more people, I finally started designing PCBs.

    These PCBs will need to be assembled, right? My favorite modules I've designed have some flexibility in their design, to let the builder create a unique example for themselves.

    So this here is the place where I'll put those build guides. Also, I have a much-neglected Squarespace storefront where you can buy modules from me, but for some reason, search engines have a hard time finding those, and an easier time finding Blogger sites.
