Cooper Dalrymple

Web developer by day, tinkerer by night, and musician by late night! Hi, my name is Cooper, and I've been writing code, soldering wires, and generally making a mess since I was a wee lad. Nowadays, I go by the handle "ReLiC" for both the electronics projects I create and electronic music I release. I hope my work inspires you to learn, experiment, and create new things!

What inspired you to make this project?
I have always wanted to create my own fully-fledged synthesizer and have experimented with libraries such as Mozzi on Arduino, but I kept running into roadblocks. After reading about the release of the new synthio library in CircuitPython 8.x, it seemed like a great platform to start getting down to business.
