I have 2 extra production boards assembled on the grape panels that I can offer for sale. I wont trade these for people on the pre order, sorry. These will have whatever Beta firmware is current so there may be bugs, V1 Firmware will be ready next month. This is the final hardware
MSW-820 is a 2 oscillator based analogue monosynth with an advanced 16 mode voltage controlled filter, 2 envelope generators, digital LFO with sync and trigger functions, digital noise source with 8 flavors, MIDI (TRS or USB), all in a compact desktop or euro format.
