I want to understand more about synthesisers and analogue electronics. Yes, technically I had studied a lot of it at university but I had also forgotten much of it, and when studying it then it wasn’t perhaps as practical and hands on as I wanted it to be. A way of doing this was to …

Litl 40% keyboard
