DIY Synth - Arduino project

Today I built a DIY synth based on some ideas I found on the web.

Here's some build photos and a video.

First I soldered the 5k pots to a piece of PTP DIY board. I got the pots and board from ebay. I added the pin header strip connectors so I can connect and remove the Arduino from the pots if I want to. The output jack also uses pin headers for easy removal. I bought a bunch of 1x40 Pin 2.54mm Pin header strips from ebay.



Here's the "pot bridge" connected.



Here's the prototype box. I used a cardboard box I found lying in my garbage. It's probably a box a wallwart shipped in.



Here's a video that demonstrates my Auduino:

How is it that your Auduino sounds so much smoother than all the other videos I find?

Jesse J kirjoitti...

Perhaps it sounds smoother because I am running it into pro recording gear and the others are possibly not doing that? I don't know how the others did their recordings...

You can "smooth" almost any audio signal by applying compressor/limiter to the signal and a delay box doesn't cost much while adding a lot to the vibe.

I use guitar pedals or build my own.

Of course there are VST/AU plug-ins that you can use also.

man, you're living the artistic-adventure life I'm dreaming! I'm about to build an Auduino and you're one of my sources, thanks for the tips and demos and guidance!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward to your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Hi , Are you still reading this. I just wondered which version of Auduino you are using in the video. I tried Version 5 and 2 of the potentioeters have only a little effect on the sound. Yours seems superior in the video. Thanks . Mike
