Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – Part 2

Part 3 details the design of a panel using a PCB manufacturer. https://youtu.be/YmQ7j-tDudk 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 this project: Arduino Analog Input Arduino Digital … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – Part 2 →

Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format

When I put together the Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer it was with an eye to creating some kind of "modular" style panel format. This post documents the building of a "CDR format" (CD Rack Format) panel version. Part 1 (this post) details the build and testing of the panel. Part 2 updated and enhanced the Multi-Mode … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 6

This is the last part (for now) in a series of posts describing how I've approached building a "universal synthesizer panel" to house a range of microcontroller synthesis projects. In the first part, I detailed the general idea and overall design of the panel. In part 2 I built the IO panel. In part 3 … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 6 →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Introduction

I have a number of "off the shelf" synthesizer programs and sketches kicking around that I wanted a way to actually be able to do some proper "musical" playing with them. Having them put together on breadboard and stripboard is all very well, but sometimes I want to be able just to load up the … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Introduction →

Vertical Modular Synthesizer “CD Rack Format”

I'm planning on building a series of MIDI synthesizer modules that will have a pretty simple means of hooking them together, but want something to house them. I also have a couple of IKEA CD racks kicking around that haven't been required for a while, and I also don't want to take up large chunks … Continue reading Vertical Modular Synthesizer “CD Rack Format” →
