Great project!

If the database grows it would be nice to be able to exclude tags, not only to include them. I'd like to exclude anything modular for example.

I you want a really accessible diy synth project: I recently did an m8 headless build inside of an anbernic r33s. It's basically lego, though you can do a little soldering if you want to, to connect the teensy directly to the r33s board (I used an external cable). And the m8 is one of the best portable synths out there. Cost me like 60€ total.

I recently initiated myself into groovebox world with the Yamaha Seqtrak and just oadt week with the OP-XY.

Despiste YouTube critic about DIY Synth, I would give this project a Deep dive because I found myself looking at the NTS-1 / 3 this pasta week.

THX a lot

On that vein, I just started building my own analog synthesizer from scratch, and found this YouTube series which is very beginner friendly and with lots of explainations even for us who don't have much hardware experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBatvo8bCa4

The circuit after part 3 already sounds good enough to be used in real projects, yet it's simple enough to fully understand.

Great collection! Are there any very affordable DIY midi control surfaces with a few knobs, pads, keys (two octaves), and BT?

Sans the Bluetooth, something like the AKAI MPK Mini might fit? Not the greatest of keys, very plasticky, but it is cheap and has pots, keys, pads at least.
