Raspberry Pi v1 Model B Synth Board

If you've been following along, you'll know I've been playing around with an original Raspberry Pi v1 model B as the engine for some digital sound synthesis.  This is a slight project tangent to build an analog IO and MIDI add-on board.  Note that this does not conform to any standard for Raspberry Pi add-ons … Continue reading Raspberry Pi v1 Model B Synth Board →

“Bare Metal” Raspberry Pi Synth – Part 3

This project uses an off-the-shelf analog IO board for the Raspberry Pi for my "bare metal" Raspberry Pi v1 (model B) synth. Full index of posts in this series: Part 1: The basics of setting up an environment to build a “bare metal” Raspberry Pi synth application. Part 2: Adding potentiometer controls via an MCP3008 … Continue reading “Bare Metal” Raspberry Pi Synth – Part 3 →

“Bare Metal” Raspberry Pi Synth – Part 2

This post builds on part 1 and starts to add some IO handling code and simple synthesis code to the bare metal Raspberry Pi experiments. Full index of posts in this series: Part 1: The basics of setting up an environment to build a “bare metal” Raspberry Pi synth application. Part 2: Adding potentiometer controls … Continue reading “Bare Metal” Raspberry Pi Synth – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI LED Step Sequencer with MCP3008

Having now experimented with an SPI eight-way analog to digital converter in the shape of the MCP3008, I wanted to build a step sequencer where the type of analog input was configurable.  This project allows you to choose between the following options for controller the steps of the sequencer: The native analog inputs on the … Continue reading Arduino MIDI LED Step Sequencer with MCP3008 →

Arduino Mozzi FM Synthesis with MCP3008

I'm always on the look out for new ways of building control modules for my Arduino synthesizers, so when I discovered the MCP3008 SPI 8-channel analog to digital converter, I thought I'd give it a go with my Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis. https://youtu.be/A5if3Y4u8aM Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your … Continue reading Arduino Mozzi FM Synthesis with MCP3008 →

JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2

Following on from the JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller as a step sequencer, this project shows how it can be used as a generic MIDI controller. https://youtu.be/LjU9QdAnlJg 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 previous projects … Continue reading JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2 →
