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 Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2

This is the build guide for my Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB. 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 key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project: Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis Mozzi … Continue reading Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2 →

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 Nano Multi-pot FM and String Synthesis

Having now built my Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB this project is by way of preparation for its use in my Lo-Fi Orchestra. Specially, it will support the existing strings and an expanded woodwind section, utilising the following projects: Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth - Part 2 Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis Warning! I strongly … Continue reading Arduino Nano Multi-pot FM and String Synthesis →

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 →
