Interesting indeed. Happy to see boutique audio flourishing these days (maybe not in terms of profitability, but at least in terms of choices for musicians).

They posted that the DIY kit is not for the beginner. Not a chance for a hack like me.
I'll bet jhulk could whip one of these suckers together in no time though.

Looks like it takes up about 4U. Understand its a DIY but compared to the Solaris 1U I'd go for the latter if in the market for another Rack synth.

You might remember the OBX Rack Synth Kit Stretch Goal Added to Abstrakt Instruments' Kickstarter for OB-X replacement boards. It looks like they are taking it a step further and offering a completed version named the VS-1 for non-DIYers, or those that just don't have the time or resources to build their own. The project is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here. Abstrakt Instruments, of course, are the people behind the Avalon Bassline 303 clone, which has become highly regarded by many as the best 303 clone with extra features. P.S. See Abstrakt OB-X for additional posts and demos leading up to the new VS-1.
