Developer Frédéric Meslin has announced a Kickstarter project to develop the OP-A, a multi-timbral FM synthesizer Arduino Shield. The Arduino is popular open-hardware microprocessor platform. A Shield is essentially a PCB that plugs into an Arduino and gives it new features. The OP·A is an FM synthesizer shield for Arduino, that Meslin says is “great… Read More OP·A – A Multitimbral FM Synthesizer Shield for Arduino
Developer Jan Ostman let us know about a new 8-bit synthesizer project that he’s created, Minimo. “I got very inspired by the Roland A-01 with it’s 8-bit synth,” notes Ostman. Here’s a short video preview:
The Strumpad is a unique MIDI Controller that lets you ‘strum’ your keyboard like a guitar.
Developer Jan Ostman of DSP Synthesizers let us know about a new DIY project to build a string synth, inspired by 70’s style string synths, based on an Arduino.
Reader Phillip Stevens let us know about a Kickstarter project he’s running to develop a new Arduino, just right for audio projects, Goldilocks Analogue. Arduino is an open-source computer platform, designed for creating microcontroller-based devices. The goal of the Goldilocks Analogue is to bring sophisticated analog and audio input, output, and storage capability to the Arduino environment. Here’s… Read More Goldilocks Analogue Combines Arduino With Audio I/O, Is ‘Just Right’ For Music Projects
The Toa Mata Band is known as the ‘World’s first LEGO robotic band’. It features Bionicle robots, controlled by an Arduino Uno, which is hooked up to a MIDI sequencer.
Tasty Chips Electronics’ Arduino Piggyback Synthesizer (aka the “Piggy”) is an analog synthesizer shield for the Arduino (Uno, Nano, etc). The Arduino is an open-source electronics ‘brain’, designed to be an easy-to-use platform for building interctive projects. Arduino ‘shields’ are boards that can be plugged into an Arduino, extending the device’s capabilities. There are already many electronic music devices… Read More Arduino Piggyback Synthesizer A Hackable Analog Synth
The Open Theremin is an open source hardware and software project, with the aim is of building a next-generation, DIY theremin. Two Open Theremin designs are available: The Open.Theremin.UNO is a full Arduino-based theremin that offers both audio and control voltage outputs. The Open.Theremin.RC is a more basic one-antenna (pitch) design. The project is documented under a creative… Read More Open Theremin Project An Open Source DIY Theremin
This video is an in-depth video guide to assembling the new Soulsby Synthesizers miniAtmegatron synth shield for Arduino Uno.
Reader Jesse Rutherford (Bent-Tronics) let us know about this video, which captures him unboxing, assembling and testing the new Soulsby Synthesizers miniAtmegatron synthesizer shield for Arduino.
