ML Synth Tools XIAO SAMD Synth

Having listed out a few Arduino Audio and MIDI Frameworks and having spent some time recently with the XIAO SAMD21, I thought I'd take a closer look at the ML Synth Tools XIAO synth. Important Update: It would appear that the ML_SynthTools and samd21_mini_synth repositories have been fairly significantly updated since I wrote this. I've tried … Continue reading ML Synth Tools XIAO SAMD Synth →

Arduino Audio and MIDI Frameworks

I've been collecting bookmarks for interesting Arduino audio projects for a while now, and having now played with the XIAO SAMD21 I started looking back over my list for other things to try. One thing that occurred to me is that there are a now a number of more powerful audio frameworks available for a … Continue reading Arduino Audio and MIDI Frameworks →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 3

This is the third part in a series of posts describing how I've approached building a "universal synthesizer panel" to house a range of microcontroller synthesis projects. In the first part, I detailed the general idea and overall design of the panel. In part 2 I built the IO panel. In this part I will … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 3 →

I have a number of "off the shelf" synthesizer programs and sketches kicking around that I wanted a way to actually be able to do some proper "musical" playing with them. Having them put together on breadboard and stripboard is all very well, but sometimes I want to be able just to load up the … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Introduction →
