From the project
simple synth power by solar cell
This is the original version of the SolarpunkSynth - a solar-powered synthesizer designed for workshops and DIY enthusiasts.
Detailed soldering instructions are provided to help you build your own SolarpunkSynth:
The SolarpunkSynth has been successfully used in numerous workshops, helping participants learn about electronics, solar power, and sound synthesis in an engaging hands-on environment.
