Grab a soldering iron and enter the wonderful world of synth DIY! In just a few hours, you can build your own batwing synth, a touch synthesizer which uses just a few CMOS chips and passive components, but can create many interesting digital blips, drones, and squelches, all controllable via six knobs, three touchpoints, and modular synth-compatible inputs and outputs.
Jack Schoonover is an audio engineer and sound designer based in the Adirondack region of New York with about 15 years of synth DIY experience in a wide variety of formats. Since 2021, his company SetonixSynth has released a variety of products, primarily in the Eurorack modular format, and has been a constant presence at synth gatherings around the U.S.
