@Caustic

The entire kit sells for just over 100 bucks american.

I guess we haven’t the same definition of “just over”…

[Caustic]

I have corrected the post. I was looking at the wrong link!

I think it’s quite expensive…
Even with good quality breadboards.

And then you need to add midi to it and a sample player and implement the dsp/filter code and and and …

[Caustic]

Having purchased everything a la carte personally, it’s not more expensive.

This is a look mum no computer forum. Shouldn’t you be building opamps instead?
