(reading time: < 1 min) Earlier this year I wrote that I was donating all Synth 1 Librarian contributions to charity. Well I did: Thanks to everyone that contributed over the past 12 months. You get to help a child who doesn’t have a life as fortunate as yours.

So the requirements to send patches are: Synth1 Librarian needs to […]
