This project is about creating a fully digital, modular experience with the audio processing, patching and knob twiddling but it occurs to me as I build the hardware that many elements may be extensible and reusable. I w… --- ## [Accessibility](https://riban.discourse.group/t/accessibility/43)

I am (painfully) aware that the design of riban modular limits access by many potential users. Its current design relies on the user having sufficient mobility to be able to reach the hardware, push buttons and adjust kn… --- ## [Which modules should we add?](https://riban.discourse.group/t/which-modules-should-we-add/33)

For each module there needs to be a panel. This means designing and fabricating panels to expose the corresponding modules which has various overheads. We therefore can’t easily provide every possible module as a riban m… --- ## [Happy New Year](https://riban.discourse.group/t/happy-new-year/38)

One of the comments voiced by several people at trade shows is that they love the analogue (or analog for our US friends) sound and that a digital synth is not appealing to them. Another was that they had already investe… --- ## [Progress](https://riban.discourse.group/t/progress/10)
