From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Flickr user [fluxa] put an Arduino board to work outputting control voltage to a DIY SoundLab synthesizer. While the PC software has yet to be released, the Arduino code is pretty straightforward – using a pulse width modulated output through a simple resistor/capacitor filter. – CVAirSequencer Project on Flickr […]
If you’re interested in building an analog synthesizer then the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) circuit is the best place to start. Oscillators form the core of the instrument, generating basic waveforms which are then shaped and shifted by accompanying components like LFOs, VCAs, and filters and then delivered to our ears as tasty electronic audio […]
(photos by CookieM) Japanese kit-maker Gakken has just released a special special edition of the Otona No Kagaku publication focussing on music synthesizers. The issue includes an SX-150 stylus-input analog synth kit which appears to require relatively little effort in the way of assembly (a feature which may be a demerit in the eyes of […]
A big ‘ol circuit bent group sale-a-bration sounds like a great idea – Experimental Garage Sale will take place at the Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago on July 19th, 2008 between Noon-9 PM. This free event will be a perfect opportunity for circuit benders and anyone interested to snag up toys for bending and to […]
Join me, won’t you? – as I travel back in time to assemble the New Edison Cup-style Phonograph.
