No-longer-accidental Polysynth


YouTube via MusicMiK. follow-up to this post. Be sure to see the second vid below.
"Day #2 of this. Another 4 hours or so. Cleaning up the breadboard with immediately creating new chaos on the clean surface. But now, i can put everything of the voice onto it.
The goal is to have the complete synth, reduced to 1 voice, but the rest as in the 8-voice version, on the breadboard before soldering everything together. This is how development is done most efficiently, in my eyes. It's just a bit complicated to get everything on a breadboard, if the circuits get a bit more complicated.

Anyway - i hope, you like it, the project now has a name - PolyMiK (even if the MonoMiK and the MiK-one still are incomplete :), and i'm looking forward to get good progress in this thing."

"Okay. Added the ring modulator and the OTAs for feedback (resonance) and the VCA.
Things to do - some tricks for offset handling of the multiplexed exponential converter, will give a bunch of trimpots i think.
Need to make sure that i have enough buffer caps for the power, as i have some sync effects i don't want, but all in all, the result is quite okay for less than 12 hours i spent up to now.
More to follow the next weekends.

By the way - in the last video, i forgot the filter capacitors. Thanks to all those stray capacitance of a breadboad, it worked anyway :)"
