"Congratulations also go to Paul Maddox (VacoLoco) introducing his project GorF 019, Paul's words:
"GorF will be 100% open source (GPLv3), the schematics are already available on my site, and a prototype PCB (100mm by 80mm) has been ordered, once I've built it using this PCB and confirmed it works, the PCB files and code will be published so others can build one and tinker with the code to suit their own needs... I hope that by giving these projects to the community it will encourage people to develop their ideas and create new things I can't even imagine!"

So, what's Zoybar?
"Zoybar is a unique platform for developing innovative music instruments and effects.

The Zoybar components provide research and development tools as
a sustainable prototype platform.

The same modular parts can be assembled as different instruments, can be changed during the performance and also be mounted with numerous special effects, just by adding and changing their position across the profile groves.

We're looking forward to see these skills integrated with the Zoybar hardware."
