Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB
This is a version of my Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB designed for use with the Arduino Nano. Specifically I've been looking at what it might take to get Mozzi running on the Arduino Nano Every, which is quite a different beast to the original Nano, but with the same pinout. This board should be … Continue reading Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB
Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB
Following on from my Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB here is another shield, this time more optimised for experiments with the Mozzi synthesis library for Arduino. Update: Build notes are now available here: Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2 Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not … Continue reading Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB
Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB
My latest Lo-Fi Orchestra piece is calling out for more brass and woodwind, so I'm thinking about ways to expand the setup. One thing I always wanted to improve on is the banks of Arduino Nanos I'm currently using for brass and strings. This PCB design will hopefully provide a much neater solution to my … Continue reading Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB
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
The Complete Lo-Fi Planets
Inspired by the legendary Tomita, the Lo-Fi Orchestra presentation of Gustav Holst's Planets Suite is now complete. The original Lo-Fi Orchestra project started off as an attempt to bring a range of my "Simple DIY Electronic Music Projects" together to "perform" a single piece. After a number of initial performances, I decided to take the … Continue reading The Complete Lo-Fi Planets
Lo-Fi Orchestra – Neptune from The Planets
Inspired by the legendary Tomita, the Lo-Fi Orchestra presents the final piece, Neptune, from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite. This features the Adafruit Feather MIDI, Music and LEDs on the celesta, the Arduino MIDI VS1053 Synth as the 'harp', and the Raspberry Pi, Clumsy MIDI and MT32-Pi using the Fluidsynth soundscape as the voices. This has been programmed … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – Neptune from The Planets
Arduino Analog Keypad Mozzi Synth
Back when I was messing about with LDRs I made the comment that there are many different kinds of sensors you could use to replace potentiometers in a synth. Having now had a play with analog keypads, I thought they'd be a fun thing to try. The conclusion - it works, but I'm still deciding … Continue reading Arduino Analog Keypad Mozzi Synth
Universal Synthesizer Panel – Helios One++
The next Arduino synthesizer I've been wanting to try out, so will get the Universal Synthesizer Panel treatment, is the Helios One Synthesizer by "Blog Hoskings" (Gary White), who has provided a very comprehensive build guide as well as details into how the code works. Once again it is based on Mozzi and this is … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Helios One++
Lo-Fi Orchestra – Uranus from The Planets
Inspired by the legendary Tomita, the Lo-Fi Orchestra presents Uranus from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite. This is using the same Lo-Fi Orchestra setup as Jupiter, which is detailed in full here, but you can listen out for the MT32-Pi on timpani once again, the Adafruit feather on xylophone, and heavy use of the PWM and … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – Uranus from The Planets
