The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

PICO-56 kits incoming
PICO-56 kits will be available soon. I'll be giving a few away too. Who's keen? It's a 65C02/TMS9918A/AY-3-8910 homebrew computer on a Raspberry Pi Pico, but can easily be adapted to other hardware configurations. https://github.com/visrealm/pico-56

Polyphony in analog synthesizer with arduino
I think you could look into DCOs later, I'm in the process of building a polysyth based on this: https://github.com/polykit/pico-dco

What's up with DCO's?
I built an analog polyphonic synthesizer with a DCO. I used a Raspberry Pi Pico to drive 6 voices. Schematics, PCB and source code are on GitHub: https://github.com/polykit/pico-dco It’s super stable and can be directly controlled by MIDI, no additional pitch CV needed.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pico-56 and pico-dco you can also consider the following projects:
esp32_basic_synth - ESP32 based simple synthesizer project
Euclid_Probe - Euclid probe, a magnetically coupled Z Probe
kosmo-multitool - Arduino Nano Every based development platform for DIY synthesizer enthusiasts.
HAGIWOs_Module - eurorack modular synthesizers projects using Arduino.
