Summer of Synth-DIY: Week 16

Sound Lab: Mostly done (after a 4-5 hour marathon on it last night). Here’s a rough looking demo:

Arduino Sequencer: I talked about that Thursday. I showed it off at Playshop on Saturday to rave reviews (i.e. “you should try to sell those”). I suppose I could try, but there really isn’t that much to it – a generic PCB, the CD4051, a 220 ohm resistor and then the pots and connectors. Any interest in a kit?

SN-Voice: PCB has been received, and I think almost all parts are on hand or en route(I think the tempco is the only outstanding part). Still unsure of how to enclose it – Standalone? In some kind of modular-style rack? Something in-between with a simple VCF and LFOs attached?

Other yet-to-be determined projects: Things are being determined. More information soon.

Playshop involved playing with the 556. It wasn’t an APC, but more of a plain “beeper” thing with fixed frequencies. Y’know, I prefer the 4093 to the 556. You get twice as many oscillators out of it.

And I think with the two big successes this week, this is the last “Summer of Synth-DIY” post for the year. New ones will just be “SynthDIY update” or maybe something specific to the project.
