Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 6 – MIDI Mozzi FM Synth

Putting together everything I have so far, this presents a basic MIDI controlled Mozzi FM synth. 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: MIDI Mozzi FM Synth Further Mozzi MIDI Experiments https://youtu.be/clG0iOgls-Q Warning! I strongly recommend using old … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 6 – MIDI Mozzi FM Synth

Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 5 – MIDI IN

Having now tried a number of stand-alone projects, I thought it was time to get the Synth Shield hooked up to something else.  And for music, that means MIDI!  This project looks at building and using a serial ("traditional") MIDI IN circuit for the Synth Shield. The full index of projects and my personal build … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 5 – MIDI IN

Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 4 – Drum Machine

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
