Short Circuit: Direct digital synthesizer

Music Technology

I’m glad to see Jeri is back to doing her quick n’ dirty “Short Circuit” videos, where she shoots, edits, and uploads a benchtop tutorial video in record time. Sure they’re funky, but they get their point across.

In this video, she shows you how to make a simple audio direct digital synthesizer (DDS) using a 74HC4060, EPROM, and a few passive components.

    Excellent presentation! Love the teaser with the LEDs at the end. I have to dig through my chips now! :)
