Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 3 – Adding GPIO

As you might have read, one of the main criticisms I had with the Synth Shield was that it didn't include an obvious way to get access to the unused GPIO pins on the Arduino.  This is a great oversight in my view as the whole point of using Arduino is its hardware interfacing opportunities! … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 3 – Adding GPIO →

Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 2 – Mozzi Experiments

Tones was the obvious first choice for some experiments, but I've now jumped straight to Mozzi experiments as the second suggested sketch on the Arduino tutorial is a Mozzi sketch.  Otherwise I'd have probably saved this for a little later, but here are some Mozzi experiments you can do with your board right away. Of … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 2 – Mozzi Experiments →

Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 1 – Simple Tones

Having now built my synth board, I'm going to start to talk about some of the projects that I can do with it. The full index of projects and my personal build notes can be found here: Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth. This post contains the following experiments: Controlling the frequency of a tone with a … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 1 – Simple Tones →

Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2

This is the build guide for my Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB. 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 Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis Mozzi … Continue reading Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2 →

Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis – Revisited

I've been watching how people have been getting on with the Arduino "Make Your Uno" kit in which you build up your own Arduino Uno and a five-pot synth shield.  I've love to get one, but I really can't justify the cost as I don't need the soldering practice (well, I might, but not on … Continue reading Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis – Revisited →

Arduino Nano Multi-pot FM and String Synthesis

Having now built my Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB this project is by way of preparation for its use in my Lo-Fi Orchestra.  Specially, it will support the existing strings and an expanded woodwind section, utilising the following projects: Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth - Part 2 Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis Warning! I strongly … Continue reading Arduino Nano Multi-pot FM and String Synthesis →

Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope

Having just completed my Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB Build Guide I wanted an example application.  So I went back to my Arduino Tone One Year On! project which was designed to do something interesting with my very first projects in celebration of one year of my blog!  At the time, I wrote: "Note it should … Continue reading Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope →
