At one point, the audience is going to playing all 36 of them! check out: http://www.projectxpresents.com/2008/09/02/a-hand-held-synthesizer and http://www.projectxpresents.com/participants/the-buzz-boxes/ cheers Xx good work!

I've never built a thingamakit but I soldered up an x0xb0x last year: all I can say is go slowly and check the polar components (if there are any) are in the right way. I had a couple of transistors in backwards in my x0xb0x which stopped it from working, thankfully it didn't fry anything.
