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

SAMD51 USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis
When I left my Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis – Part 3 I had the following: Mozzi synthesis on the Trinket M0 board (that uses the SAMD21 Cortex M0+ processor core at 48MHz). Four note polyphony. USB device functionality - it can be controlled via MIDI over USB from a PC. USB host functionality - … Continue reading SAMD51 USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis
Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis – Part 3
So, I've performed some optimisations for my polyphonic Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis and think this is probably where I'll leave the code for the time being. You can get an idea of what it can do in the video below. https://youtu.be/piz4varsgXg Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your … Continue reading Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis – Part 3
Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis – Part 2
This is a first go at getting polyphony running on my Trinket M0 USB Mozzi synth. It is very much a work in progress though as I've just not managed to get the right balance of the different aspects of the system running together yet. But I thought I'd pause and report what I have … Continue reading Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis – Part 2
Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis
As I mentioned last time, I wanted to get my Trinket handling USB MIDI (as a MIDI host) so I could plug my Korg minikeys directly into it. This wasn't quite as straight forward as I imagined it would be, but I got there in the end. In part 2 I start to look at … Continue reading Trinket USB MIDI Multi-Pot Mozzi Synthesis
Trinket FM Synthesis with Mozzi
Having played around a little with the Adafruit Trinket M0 I'm now starting to spend some time learning about the SAMD21 processor on board as part of an investigation into 32-bit ARM processors and their possibilities for synthesis. In a follow-up post I add MIDI host support via the built-in USB port. In a further … Continue reading Trinket FM Synthesis with Mozzi
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
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
MCP4725 and Mozzi – Part 2
So, ignoring the delirium that turned out to be MCP4725 and Mozzi this is using the built-in I2C "TwoWire" support in the Mozzi library to talk to the MCP4725 and generate audio. https://youtu.be/xtVi1blvt1c Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive … Continue reading MCP4725 and Mozzi – Part 2
MCP4725 and Mozzi
I'm going to start this project with at disclaimer - don't bother doing it this way! It was really more of a learning exercise for me - the result of a bit of a "I'm going to push it about as far as I can" obsession this past weekend just to see how far it … Continue reading MCP4725 and Mozzi
