This post talks through the porting and operating of a commonly used sketch for an Arduino drum machine, showing how to get it up and running on the Arduino Make Your Uno Synth Shield.. The full index of projects and my personal build notes can be found here: Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth. If you spend … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 4 – Drum Machine

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 “Make Your Uno” Synth
As soon as I saw the Arduino "Make Your Uno" kit with the Synth Shield I wanted to get one and have a go. Unfortunately it wasn't available in the UK straight away and postage from overseas was pretty high on an already pretty high price, so I waited. But as soon as I saw … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth
2022 Year in Review
As I write this at the start of the new year, I'm going for a little self-indulgence and am going to summarise some of the things I got up to in 2022. Partly as a "looking back" but also as a way of thinking about all the loose ends and "further ideas" that I often … Continue reading 2022 Year in Review
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 MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited
A little while after my last set of experiments for a Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer I found a video from "Gadget Reboot" showing how to use the KS0835F subscriber line module from an Arduino to interface to a phone more easily. So I bought some and this is the start of a set of new experiments … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited
