Hello,
After about a year and a half after the first Overcycler sold, I've chosen to stop manufacturing it...
Long story short, it is too burdensome to even produce one batch per month. I do love the fact that is sells well, being a labour of love, but for many reasons, it takes a bit of my health for each batch (stress, meeting deadlines, necessary attention to detail, ...).
I hope this project will end being manufactured again by some company in the synth business, I wouldn't ask for a lot of money on each sale to sell the rights even (and I do love Pi as a symbol of laicist love ;).
For now, the project stays open-source and free software and located at https://github.com/gligli/overcycler. Eg. it wouldn't require a huge effort to maintain the JLCPCB bill of materials, and besides PCBs, the rest is off the shelf form mouser, aliexpress, ...
As a side note, stopping production will also help me focus on my other projects an my music.
Of course I'll continue doing after-sales support but that's about it.
Fabrice GUILHAUME aka. GliGli.
