Cheap synths (<$50)
for everybody!
Synths are notoriously expensive. Big "apple" brands of synths make you pay for the design, and others for the complexity of them. But strangely enough both big companies and small freelancers still make expensive synths,

I want to make limited synths, for a cheap price.
Not overpricing stuff just because the market says so.
Designing the PCBs to be highly customizable in terms of type of different components.
Using commodity microcontrollers.
The prices should also be customized depending on the components on the synth (ex: a battery will cost more).
REDNEKO1 is the first prototype of the series,very limited, but less than 10$ of components (taking account of the 5 pcbs ordered on jlpcb).
next will follow a more structured mini synth, hopefully a lot more flexible... i'm designing it right now.
