Scout Synth DIY Electronics Kit
This is the DIY Electronics Kit for the Scout Synth. It requires through-hole soldering and takes about 45min to assemble.
It's available with and without 3D-printed parts. If you have access to a 3D-printer, you can print it yourself! (You will need the printed parts, so don't just get the electronics by themselves.)
