Multi Voiced Oscillator Mk.II
I began making the final adjustments to the Mozzi code, opting to move away from the FM synth that I had been making, as I was unsatisfied with it sonically and did not feel that it changed enough from the original example code for me to be truly happy with it. The use of multiple FM voices in the old patch was also the source of a weird clicking sound. I have instead ended pursuing the goal of mulitple oscillator voices, some to be controlled by the first 5 potentiometers (analog inputs 0 - 4) and a bank of identical oscillators with an additional variation parameter (controlled by analog input 5) that adds a small amount to the frequency to cause interesting beating effects. I am much happier with the sonic results and the only thing remaining now for the coding is to add some delay to the output (something I did it previous iterations of the FM synth, but forgot at time of writing to add to the beating synth) and to experiment with different oscillator tables (full list of tables here) or maybe experiment with making my own.
One thing I have noticed is that the LEDs lighting up seem to be audible through the amplifier I was using. However, I do not entirely hate it, as it adds an interesting percussive layer that synchronises with LEDs and strengthens the feeling of audiovisual interaction.
Here is the updated code:

Starting the Soldering and Further Enclosure Preparations
I began the soldering process by attaching my potentiometers to a small strip of protoboard and soldering colour coded hook up wire from the potentiometers (Red power, black ground, blue data). Doing it in this manner allowed me to continue to test on the breadboard, whilst also moving towards the final iteration of the design.
I also used Fritzing to create a schematic of the build, adding in a power switch as the final build will be powered by a 9V battery.
