Looks great.

There is a DIY kit available

Freaq FM 8-bit Digital FM Generative Synthesizer

2 independent FM voices each with user-controllable waveform, modulation envelope and LFO, integrated with a 16-step generative sequencer.

  .

2 independent 8-bit FM voices

2-operator FM (for old-school prince of persia vibes!)

Multi-mode FM ratios - quantised, free-multiple, independent

Multiple operator waveforms for carrier & modulator - Sine, Triangle, Overdriven triangle, Saw, Square, Noise, Off

Attack/Decay modulation envelope per voice

LFO per voice with multiple waveforms and configurable destination: modulation envelope (attack, decay or depth), FM ratio, note length

2/1.5 track polymetric sequencer with up to 16 steps per track (Both tracks use same note sequence but can have different step-counts for poly-metric rhythms)

Multiple generative algorithms - (semi)random notes, (semi)random runs, arpeggio, drone

Sequence mutates/evolves at user-defined rate & note-density

Selectable tonic, octave & scale - Ionian (Major), Minor (Dorian), Pentatonic, Phrygian (GOA!), Octaves, Fifths
