Thanks! Yeah I played that in C phrygian, doubled 3rd voicing, all handled by the device.

Thanks for checking it out!

RE:engineering: You're spot on, on the engineering side it's dead simple. Simple, reliable, serviceable were all part of the goal.

RE:pricing: Other devices in this category are expensive and several have built-in synth engines and audio cards. This build uses mostly off the shelf components in an effort to keep the price down.

Instagram said I 'violated community guidelines'. Not sure how, I posted a photo of the controller and two videos of it in action. I think my error was following too many people too quickly, maybe lots of external traffic from reddit hurt too?

That really stinks, sorry you had to experience that.

I feel like it's the nature of these social media companies anymore. They use automated enforcement and the appeals process is impossible. :/

Will keep an eye out, this is very cool.

My guess is that it isn't anything you did other than maybe "grow" too fast and it looked like some kind of spam bot. Just a guess though. I don't know much about how instagram works other than personal use, I post pictures rarely.

Yeah that's my best guess, too.
