DIY & Open Source Projects
The Wirehead Instruments journey started as “Meebleeps”, with synthesizer mods and open source projects.
Below are some links to those projects if you would like to build your own version of the Freaq FM prototype or Mutant subtractive digital synth, or mess up the insides of your Volca (no responsibility taken!!).
