Ltd. booklet contains UM66 & UM3561 PCBs & information on building the DIY electronic musical instruments.
Play with rhythm, melody & noise.
This PCB can be made by a person who knows that:
components need to be sourced and soldered to the PCBs,
3v battery power needs to be supplied,
a cable and an amplifier should be connected,
before electronic sound can be heard from this release.
(Battery not included.)
These DIY EMIs require a 3v CR2032 battery for power.
The output is a mono mini jack (3.5mm).
Each item is assembled by hand. The mark of the maker can be found on the surface of the items, showing the efforts to manipulate materials and minimise waste. For us, an imperfect artefact for sale is preferable to a usable flaw in the dump.
Includes unlimited streaming of UM Versions
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
