Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.

From time to time, there are musical instruments introduced by makers which are somewhat related to mechanical keyboards – blurring the lines between the two hobbies. I hope you don't mind if I feature one such project again, especially if it's an open-source initiative.

The LMN-3 is an open-source synth/sampler/sequencer/DAW-in-a-box recently shared by Stone Preston aka Fundamental Frequency. You can find the collection of all LMN-3 repositories here:

There's also a comprehensive build guide available.

Btw, the device uses a Teensy 4.1 + a Raspberry Pi 4, and sports 45 keys, four rotary encoders, and a Hyperpixel 4 screen.

Stone also posted a video walk-trough of the features:
