Klangorium
About the Klangorium PCB
Klangorium is an open source PCB design by hexagon5un, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 200 × 100 mm, with 152 components from 48 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 40106, 4070, 4069, 4051 and 4015. By type, the board carries 42 connectors, 32 capacitors, 30 resistors, 22 diodes, 8 ICs and 2 jumpers.

Hardware and tutorials for the Hackaday / Logic Noise Klangorium demo board
Over on Hackaday, I've been writing a series of articles on building up synthesizers out of 4000-series CMOS logic chips. It's been great fun building them up on an breadboard and then tearing them back down, but after a while it's time to do something more permanent.
The result is this here Klangorium board.
For a tutorial on how to use it, please head over to the Hackaday.io page, or just start working through the Logic Noise series from the beginning. You'll find that it covers one module per session, and you'll learn a hell of a lot about ghetto synthesis and logic chips if you do.
