    Relatively these are an easy unit to build for the DIYer , just need moderate soldering skills and basic tech understanding.I am a cheap skate these days so DIY suits me .Nice touch is optional colour choice for reset button, when you end up building a bank of them in your Modular.In standard mode the music thing modular docs and website are good and give you a number of quirky sound resources. My favourite being the Oxford club financial adviser. and the compendium of “I can’t get to work cos I am real sick today” voicemails
