miniMO Is An 8-Bit, Programmable Synth Module

In this video we get a demo of the miniMO synth, an 8-bit programmable synth module built that makes use of the ATtiny85 microcontroller. It is available as a buildable kit, as well as an already-built 3D printed synth for those that want to dive right in.

Given that the user can program the miniMO however they please, the palm-sized synth is incredibly versatile and can be used to create just about any sound there is. You can watch it being used to create noise in the video below.
