Audio Board for Computing Culture's Number Six

You can build this audio board for doing sound art, DSP, music/audio synthesizers, homebrew effect pedals, etc!

It connects to Computing Culture's Number 6 microcontroller development kit. It features one channel of 10-bit audio in, one channel of 12-bit audio out, MIDI in/out, and the ability to have four control knobs. BTW, it is designed to be easy enough for first-time solderers to put together!
