I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for this. Somewhat similar to the Expert Sleepers General CV, but smaller, DIY and seems to be more immediate. Build looks super easy.

Bread & Butter from Sebsongs is a 6HP polyphonic synth voice using General MIDI with 128 selectable instruments and a drum bank. The GM sound banks have a synthetic and warm quality to them, and the variety of instruments makes this module a flexible and fun addition to any Eurorack system.
Bread & Butter features the standard V/OCT and GATE inputs for triggering the synth voice. Thanks to a polyphony of up to 64, the voices will decay independently making it possible to ratchet chords that decay polyphonically. If the HOLD function is engaged, each note will also sustain. In addition, there is a MIDI input, which can be used simultaneously with the V/OCT and GATE inputs. For example; trigger the drums on MIDI channel 10 while generating a bass line via the V/OCT/GATE inputs. The synth voices can also be played polyphonically via MIDI.
Bread & Butter has stereo outputs and the PAN knob lets you spread the polyphonic voices out in the stereo sound field. Parameters such as pitch bend, velocity and instrument selection can be voltage controlled, which allows the sounds to quickly be pushed into weird and unfamiliar territory! For a full list of instrument banks and supported MIDI messages please see the User Manual.
