Arduino Tone Polyphony – Part 2

There were two enhancements to my Arduino Tone Polyphony project I was keen to explore. One was to expand the MIDI range of notes and one was to "build in" a keyboard. I have managed to create an experimental version that can support four octaves over MIDI, but tuning needs some work, so I'm not ready … Continue reading Arduino Tone Polyphony – Part 2 →

Arduino Tone Polyphony

I've been reading about the Oskitone 555Poly which looks like a lot of fun. It is a fully polyphonic sound generator based on one 555 oscillator circuit per key, each one individually tuned to the note you want it to play. Unfortunately my budget for making is unlikely to be able to justify getting one … Continue reading Arduino Tone Polyphony →

Arduino MIDI Multi-Tone Module

I've not done anything with the Arduino's built in tone() for a while so thought I'd revisit something I've wanted to explore for a while - Arduino tone() polyphony! But not of the sort I explored in the Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module which stacked up several Arduino MIDI Tone Modules together. Instead, I wanted to … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Multi-Tone Module →

Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2

This projects takes another look at the Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth and takes a slightly different approach to create a simple four-note polyphonic version of the string synth. To combine the outputs I'm using my Simple Passive Audio Mixer, but that isn't necessarily required. It also relies on (and builds in capability to support) the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2 →

Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth

This projects takes the Arduino Mozzi String Synth and combines it with the principles from the Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module – Part 2 to create a simple four-note polyphonic version of the string synth. See Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth - Part 2 for a development that gives a different option for passing the signal between … Continue reading Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth →

Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module – Part 2

So, this is a stripboard version of the Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module. Code and functionality is exactly the same, but I've built a "holder" for four Arduino Nano boards with common power, linked RX and TX, and built-in resistors for speakers. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. … Continue reading Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module – Part 2 →

Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module

Looking back at the Arduino MIDI Tone Module one of the key limitations was its inability to play more than one note at once. So why not string a few of them together to give you Arduino MIDI Tone polyphony! In Part 2 I commit this to stripboard. https://youtu.be/mGESRYY3CGc Warning! I strongly recommend using an old … Continue reading Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module →
