Hi all!
As a fun project for a friend, I re-imagined the Trautonium synth from the 1930s as a 21st-century performance instrument, implementing the features of the Mixtur-Trautonium (the 1940s version), and adding modern features like different waveforms and effects, including distortion and a looping delay. Then I kept going and added more devices, and currently have the synth, a ribbon controller, a midi input box, an algorithmic sequencer, and a stand-alone MIDI version of the algorithmic sequencer. Core devices use the Teensy 4.1 (and audio board on the synth), with custom PCBs and laser-cut cases.
The wealth of information in this forum answered almost every question that I had along the way, and provided loads of inspiration (and some code). Thank you all for being you!
Here's a basic GitHub Site for the project - The Wygonium Synth Kit - which has back-stories, specs, pics, videos, and more:

And here's the videos in YouTube playlist ("like and subscribe"
):

As it stands, this is an "experiment" of a project, as I keep exploring different input methods and sound design ideas, only making bespoke devices for friends. We'll see where this goes in the future.
Cheers
