Polykit X8 Mainboard

THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT IN ANY WAY AND STILL UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This repository contains Kicad schematics and PCB layout for a main board for a polyphonic synthesizer that is controlled by a micro controller.

Key features:

  • 8 voice cards
  • 16-bit DAC
  • Atmel2560 micro controller
  • Eurorack powered
  • MIDI input/output

All parameters of the voice cards are controlled by the DAC. That means patches can be stored and recalled.

There is a video playlist on the design process https://makertube.net/w/p/3N2fRjXwT2SfAUv2VkMy3e
