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 →

Auduino Granular Synthesis – Part 2

After having an initial look at the Auduino project, I was very interested in finding out more about how it worked, but the Internet seems somewhat mute on the subject and I've not found any information from the original author. If you know of such a link, be sure to let me know (at the … Continue reading Auduino Granular Synthesis – Part 2 →

Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra!

I've been wanting to do something that combined a number of these projects for a while, so in celebration of reaching (and now surpassing) 50 project posts (update: now over 100 - I celebrated with canons!), I am pleased to introduce the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! Click here is the full list of Lo-Fi Orchestra performances … Continue reading Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! →

Arduino PWM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi

This project uses an off the shelf synthesis library to create complex sounds using pulse-width-modulation (PWM) on one of the Arduino's output pins. For further Mozzi experiments, you can take a look at Arduino FM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not … Continue reading Arduino PWM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi →
