Having build up one of my Zynthian IO Board PCBs my final aim is to get it behind a panel in my CD Rack synthesizer. This is how I built a panel for it. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive … Continue reading CD Rack Format Zynthian

Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier – Part 2
This is the build guide for my Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier to support my dual-MIDI interfaces for a Raspberry Pi Pico designed by @VE7FIM from Twitter. Although designed largely for my own personal use with that specific dual-MIDI module, it could still also be used to link to several off-the-shelf MIDI modules if required. If … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico Dual MIDI Carrier – Part 2

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2
My Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio has been used, pretty much unchanged, in my Lo-Fi Orchestra performances since my first recording, but I've always had a bit of an irritating "Lo-Fi click" when starting and stopping notes. But whilst I've tinkered a little, mostly I've just lived with it, but now I'm finally taking a look. … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2

This performance of part 1 is itself in two sections: 1(a) and 1(b), linked below, intended to be played one after the other. Featuring 11 Arduino Nanos, 6 Arduino Unos, 1 Arduino Pro Mini, 1 Adafruit Feather 32u4, and a Raspberry … Continue reading The Lo-Fi Orchestral Tubular Bells
Trinket M0 USB MIDI Interface for the Shruthi Synth
I managed to pick up a Shruthi synth second hand a while back and so far, I really like it, but I've not really had a chance to properly explore it yet. One thing I'd like to do is build some kind of control interface for it so I'm not having to navigate all the … Continue reading Trinket M0 USB MIDI Interface for the Shruthi Synth
