Auduino Wavetable Granular Synthesis

The original Auduino used a clever trick to efficiently calculate a triangle wave to use as the "grain" for the granular synthesis, but I always wanted to try it with a wavetable to see if that would work. This project gives that a go. https://youtu.be/qA2BzSjeX1U Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment … Continue reading Auduino Wavetable Granular Synthesis →

Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On

The next experiment with my cheap touchscreen is to re-create my mini Tenori-On, but this time with more "buttons". https://youtu.be/kqZEotcWZY8 Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On →

Arduino Touchscreen Auduino

Continuing my experimentation with my touchscreen Arduino, this project adds five touchscreen slider potentiometer inputs to my Auduino granular synthesizer. https://youtu.be/O5qaZX_7GSc Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen Auduino →

Arduino Touchscreen PWM Sound Output

Somewhat inspired by Daphne Oram, the thing I really wanted to do with my touchscreen was to use it to draw a waveform. I now have all the bits and pieces I need to do this, so in this project I'm combining the touch screen with PWM sound output and the "drawing" idea from my … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen PWM Sound Output →

Arduino PWM Output Filter Circuit – Part 2

I've been using my solderless breadboard version of my Arduino PWM Output Filter Circuit quite a lot so thought it might be useful to commit it to protoboard and build it onto a simple shield. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to … Continue reading Arduino PWM Output Filter Circuit – Part 2 →

Arduino PWM Sound Output – Part 2

My previous post looked at all the theory of using PWM on an Arduino and finished with an example showing how to use Timer 1 to generate a PWM output on pin 9. This post provides an alternative set of PWM routines that allows you to generate an audio signal on pin 3 using Timer … Continue reading Arduino PWM Sound Output – Part 2 →

Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller – Part 2

Here is another format for my newly found cheap touchscreen MIDI controller. This time, presenting twelve virtual "slider pots" for use as MIDI controllers. https://youtu.be/FHu0BoCBEAw Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key Arduino tutorials for … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller

I picked up a cheap touchscreen display online, but it wasn't easy to work out how to get it all working. Full details can be found here, so having got to this point I thought I'd start to explore its use as a MIDI controller. Here are some follow-up projects based on this touchscreen: Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Twitter Followers

After having proved the idea of "music" from Twitter data, I wanted a system that didn't rely on a PC to download the Twitter data, but that could get it "live", so I thought this would be something that I could do with my Raspberry Pi Pico and my Pico Wireless pack. I know there … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Twitter Followers →

Arduino Twitter Follower R2R Tones

One thing I wanted to do as a follow-up to my Pico MIDI (H)Arp was to use some data from the Internet as the source for some generative music. This post is my first try at taking my Twitter follower data and turning it into sound. A follow-up project uses a Raspberry Pi Pico to turn … Continue reading Arduino Twitter Follower R2R Tones →
