So Witch was no longer sold by Befaco for a while now.
Only OWL2 board was properly supported on that device. I think that part of the problem is that for something that is supposed to run polyphonic patches or MPE synths, OWL2 had insufficient CPU power.
Recently I received one of their remaining kits, built it and ported it to OWL3. This works well and existing patches load only 15-20% of CPU. So it’s possible to add more voices and run more complex DSP code on it. I’m not sure if there’s any chance that there a chance for Witch to be available again, but I wanted to make a poll to see if there’s any interest from the anyone else here.
- I don’t have a Witch and don’t care
- I don’t have a Witch, but I want one with OWL3
- I have a Witch, but don’t plan to upgrade to OWL3
- I have a Witch and want to upgrade it to OWL3

I’m doing final testing for firmware build and will experiment with improved version of stock patches. I think I’ll share firmware and patches in 1-2 weeks if all goes well.
