Arduino Light Mozzi Generator – Part 2

I've spent a fair bit of time playing with the Control_Echo_Theremin example and finally committed it to stripboard. I was originally aiming for a fully self-contained module, speaker and all, but after a day or so trying to find a simple amplifier that works well with a PWM output, I've put that on hold for … Continue reading Arduino Light Mozzi Generator – Part 2 →

Auduino Light Controller

For the last in this series about using Light Dependent Resistors (for now), I'm having another look at the Auduino Granular Synthesis project. These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project: Arduino Analog Input Auduino Granular Synthesis If you are new to Arduino, see the Getting Started pages. Parts list Arduino … Continue reading Auduino Light Controller →

Arduino Light Mozzi Generator

Now we have our simple LDR circuit there are a number of other experiments we can try. This page suggests a few more ideas based on the examples provided with the Mozzi synthesis library. In part 2 I build this up on stripboard. Tutorials used in this project: Sounds from Sensors with Mozzi Mozzi Library … Continue reading Arduino Light Mozzi Generator →

Arduino Light Tone Generator

Having played a little with my 556 Timer Light Theremin I thought it time to get an LDR attached to an Arduino. A common extension to the Arduino Tone Generator is to replace the potentiometer with a light dependent resistor (LDR) to give a fun instrument that responds to light in a way similar to how a … Continue reading Arduino Light Tone Generator →

Lo-Fi Orchestra – Mars from The Planets

Inspired by the legendary Tomita, the Lo-Fi Orchestra presents Mars from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite. This features Arduino Mozzi FM Synthesis for the low, opening tune in homage to Tomita's amazing electronic rendition of Holst's masterpiece, and the distinctive 5/4 rhythm is emphasized using the Arduino relays. This has been programmed in from scratch from … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – Mars from The Planets →

556 Timer Light Theremin

I found this "Atari Punk Light Theremin" circuit which uses a 556 timer chip but haven't been able to find out much about it on the Internet ... at least under that name... But I did find quite a lot about the "Atari Punk Console" which appears to have taken on an Internet life of … Continue reading 556 Timer Light Theremin →

Auduino Granular Synthesis – Part 2

After having an initial look at the Auduino project, I was very interested in finding out more about how it worked, but the Internet seems somewhat mute on the subject and I've not found any information from the original author. If you know of such a link, be sure to let me know (at the … Continue reading Auduino Granular Synthesis – Part 2 →
