My first "synth" was the Korg DS-10 software on a DSi.

It was very basic but let me familiarise myself with the basics of subtractive synthesis.

This project instantly made me think of DS-10 and VCV Rack.

Something in between this project and VCV Rack would be a fantastic tool for teaching synths to kids that can't yet be trusted with a real (expensive) synth.

It's a lot of fun to play with! This is a neat project!

Thanks for the lovely comments! I'm the creator of picoSYNTH and it was a really fun project to work on. I don't have much experience in synths so it was a big learning project for me.

If there are any questions around the program, just let me know!

If you like the picoSYNTH aesthetics I've also made a 3D modeller with similar looks that might be interesting to check out: https://johanpeitz.itch.io/picocad

Nothing I've made has ended up on Hacker News before so I'll also take the opportunity to shamelessly plug my Patreon if someone want to support my work. :D https://www.patreon.com/johanpeitz
