Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2

This is the build guide for my Arduino Audio 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 PWM Sound Output Arduino R2R Digital … Continue reading Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2

My Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio has been used, pretty much unchanged, in my Lo-Fi Orchestra performances since my first recording, but I've always had a bit of an irritating "Lo-Fi click" when starting and stopping notes.  But whilst I've tinkered a little, mostly I've just lived with it, but now I'm finally taking a look. … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2

Arduino MIDI Slider OLED R2R Waveform Generator

This project moves on a step from my Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator and adds a small 0.96" OLED I2C display. https://youtu.be/MGwdu017e00 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 projects for the main concepts used … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Slider OLED R2R Waveform Generator

Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator

When I first started looking at using fader/slider potentiometers I always anticipated using it to generate waveforms for my Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio board.  But as that is currently part of the Lo-Fi Orchestra, I decided I'd build a new one, hence the diversion into using PWM first whilst I decided exactly what to do. … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio

With all the excitement of experimenting with Mozzi, I never really finished my R2R digital audio series.  This final part adds MIDI to the R2R shield I built in Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 3. https://youtu.be/i6Y9QiTxTeQ Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments.  I am not responsible for … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio

Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 3

So this is where we start to get closer to some proper direct digital synthesis using the hardware developed in part 1 and moving on from the timer-driven code developed in part 2. In Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio I add MIDI. In Arduino PWM Sound Output I talk more about the theory of PWM. https://youtu.be/1MPNHMQ-2vs The … Continue reading Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 3

Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 2

Building on the Arduino R2R Digital Audio project, this uses the Arduino Timer functions to run our code in a more accurate and useful way.  I've now also added some potentiometers to my shield and a jack output socket. In Arduino R2R Digital Audio - Part 3 the code is developed further to support wavetable synthesis. In Arduino … Continue reading Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 2
