Physics Department, University of Angers

The academic origin of polyuanalog — an open-source (MIT) analog polyphonic synthesizer published as a full hardware-plus-firmware project on GitHub. A university physics department releasing a buildable synthesizer aimed at engineers and DIY/education/research users is the kind of institutional, teaching- oriented open-hardware source that anchors the DIY end of this spoke, opposite the boutique-commercial pole (analogue-solutions).
