Notes from the Workbench

XODES is about more than just finished products : it’s about the engineering process and the curiosity that drives it.

This blog serves as a living document of our R&D journey. We share the insights, challenges, and breakthroughs happening at the workbench that deserve a closer look. Our content covers the spectrum of hardware design and musical exploration, including :

  • Modular Synthesizer Design : Deep dives into Eurorack circuitry and analog synthesis.
  • Hardware Hacking & Reverse Engineering : Exploring the hidden logic of vintage electronics.
  • Vintage Computing : Modernizing and repurposing retro hardware for creative use.
  • Guitar Pedal Experiments : Pushing the boundaries of signal processing and effects.
  • Prototyping & Repairs : Practical hardware solutions and technical restorations.

Basically, if it brings a spark of excitement to an engineer’s mind, it’s fair game.

Welcome to the lab.
