Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 5

My next bit of messing around with Arduno and AY-3-8910 takes my AY-3-8910 Experimenter PCB Design and adds some simple MIDI reception to create a 12-channel AY-3-8910 tone module. Part 1 - Getting started and looking at playing YM files. Part 2 - Adding basic MIDI control. Part 3 - Basic experiments with direct digital synthesis. Part 4 - … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 5 →

Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 4

After Part 3 I started to go back and add MIDI, and changed the waveform on the touch of a button, and then started to wonder if I could add envelopes and so on. And then it occurred to me, I didn't really need to re-implement my own synthesis library, I could probably write a custom … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 4 →

Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 3

I suggested in Part 2 that it might be possible to do some simple modulation of the amplitude of the AY-3-8910 channels rather than drive frequencies directly. This is taking a look at the possibilities of some kind of lo-fi direct digital synthesis using that as a basis. Part 1 - Getting started and looking at … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 3 →

Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 2

Following on from my initial experiments in Arduino and AY-3-8910 this post looks at the sound generation capabilities in a little more detail and adds some basic MIDI control. Part 1 - Getting started and looking at playing YM files. Part 2 - Adding basic MIDI control. Part 3 - Basic experiments with direct digital synthesis. Part 4 … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 2 →

Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 3

This is a follow up post to Part 2 expanding on the code and adding in some of the alternative control options I mentioned. Part 1 - getting to know the devices and testing them out. Part 2 - adding MIDI to the LED ring and I2C encoder. Part 3 - adding normal encoder, plain potentiometer, and endless potentiometer … Continue reading Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 3 →

Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 2

This is a follow up post to Part 1 where I'm starting to look at MIDI applications and a range of control options. Part 1 - getting to know the devices and testing them out. Part 2 - adding MIDI to the LED ring and I2C encoder. Part 3 - adding normal encoder, plain potentiometer, and endless potentiometer control. … Continue reading Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

EuroRack 6HP Arduino Mozzi Module – Basic VCO

This is the first project based on my EuroRack 6HP Arduino Mozzi Module. It is loosely based on HAGIWO's Arduino Mozzi VCO Module. https://makertube.net/w/hnocMAhYkajd8nX2vwuR2u 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 some previous posts for the main concepts … Continue reading EuroRack 6HP Arduino Mozzi Module – Basic VCO →

EuroRack 6HP Arduino Mozzi Module

This project uses my EuroRack 6HP MCU Experimenter Module to implement HAGIWO's Arduino Nano based VCO. This post describes how to put it together and test the basic functionality. Future posts will look at some code that can run on the module (see the "Sample Applications" section). Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand … Continue reading EuroRack 6HP Arduino Mozzi Module →
