Not all polysynths invite you to literally play the circuit board. This one does, turning a field of touch-plates into a responsive digital instrument for curious hands and inventive minds.
TouchedOut PolySynth is an open-source, DIY-friendly desktop synth built around Arduino and Daisy Seed, with a fully capacitive touch keyboard interface instead of traditional mechanical keys. Each key is a touch-plate on the PCB, giving you a direct, tactile connection to the digital engine underneath and making the instrument feel as experimental as it sounds.
Designed as a prototype platform, TouchedOut PolySynth lives at the intersection of synth design and electronics exploration. Its USB connectivity and accessible hardware make it ideal for hackers, builders, and sound designers who want to modify the firmware, rethink the interface, or simply enjoy a uniquely physical way of playing a modern digital polysynth.
