The Ondes Martenot (French for “Martenot waves) is an early electronic musical instrument, invented in 1928 by Maurice Martenot and originally very similar in sound to the theremin.

Peter Knight from the Tinker.it crew demonstrating the Auduino. The Auduino is a sound synthesiser based on the Arduino platform. It uses granular synthesis techniques to generate a distinctive filter-sweep sound. Sound is generated by playing the same noise (‘grain’) repeatedly at very high speed. This merges into a tone that is an audible hybrid… Read More The Auduino Synthesizer
