       | You can buy kits there which are similar to OP. I have not
       | purchased any, but many times have had them in my cart :)

       | 
       | I heard some of the samples - they sound awesome! Kudos!! A job
       | well done!!
       | 
       | My first thought - where can I get one?? And second one - how do
       | I save the sound / output it to my Mac?
       | 
       | Fab project!!

         | Looks like you source the components and build it yourself.

         | It has an audio out port, so you should be able to run an 1/8"
         | TS cable from the audio out port into your computer's
         | microphone input. If your Mac doesn't have a mic input, you'll
         | need to get an audio interface. There are many many audio
         | interfaces out there, but a Focusrite Scarlett Solo is a good
         | starter one.
         | 
         | If you're interested in dabbling in analog synthesizers but
         | don't want to break out the soldering iron, then something like
         | a Korg Volca Bass might be a better way to start.
