Hi, regular reader from Japan (Native Japanese, professional translator). Just wanted to comment on this cuz I thought it was funny.

I was like "Sardine? What?" but I guess it's this one: "マイコンモジュールの入出力を増やす技を身につけたので言わしてください"
I think the translation for this is "I picked up a technique that allows me to increase the number of inputs and outputs for the micro-controller module, so let me talk about it." Unfortunately the "Talk about" was written in a non-standard dialect, which is a homophone of "sardine".

Right now, it seems like their funding is coming from a Japanese government fund geared towards mid-to-small companies like this one. The guy writing the blog keeps saying "I can make stuff, but I have no idea how to promote them" so they obviously could use a pointer or two. For starters, here is their twitter account.

As a non-fish-person I was initially offered by the suggestion that I become a Sardine. But thanks to ryochan999 (above) for clarifying the translation -- I am not offended.

But seriously, modular MIDI sounds very interesting to me, the video is cool but I want to see more. I wish Dorapro much good luck with this.

There are modules like this already on kickstarter that looked to be of high build quality (and probably a corresponding high price). They're calling it Palette, and they were designed for computer photo editing, but consist of sliders and knobs sending standard MIDI.

Wait... did I see them on discchord? I could be reporting something people here already know.

Oh ye(click)s th(click)at w(click)orks well(click).
