The CHOMPI is a very fun project.. have considered building one myself over the years, but I think I have a bit more motivation to build a FundamentalFrequency LMN-3, which is in a similar form factor but is, imho, a bit more open ended with regards to what it can be used for .. https://github.com/FundamentalFrequency Either way the time has come for open source projects of this nature and form factor .. the world tires of overpriced junk from boutique vendors, and wants more DIY music making toys for the kids to rock out .. |

I love people making little things like this and so one hates to throw rocks from the sidelines. But I literally laughed out loud, HARD, at the price. |

HN Marketplace? I've got a Chompi in Berlin which I'd be willing to pass on. Contact in Profile |

I wanted one of these but never thought it was worth hour much they charged. I guess that's how most people felt. |

It was priced very high, even for a boutique musical instrument. There are a lot of samplers on the market on (or even under) that price point and some simple ones that cost a fraction of it. |

Electronic toys that are not mass produced are always too expensive for the mass market. Chompi is awfully cute though. |

I've had my eye on one of these little musical wonder boxes for a long time! I'm still hoping to try one soon. Maybe this is my time! |

Open source but production of the hardware was discontinued so you would either need to buy used or build one from the specs. |

Wildly, severely not, honestly. They're going about retail second-hand on Reverb, with thin supply. You might do better having a look in the Chase Bliss Audio Discord. |

Now that it's OSS, I'm sure plenty of people will build and sell it. Hell, you might be able to just get it off Ali, as well. |

It’s always possible. There’s definitely been a market for Eurorack clones of open designs like Mutable Instruments modules. The main thing would be how you market it since one of the provisions is that you can’t use that trademarked name, and I imagine that would apply to marketing it, not just the product name itself. |
