Vektron modular from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.
"A presentation of a modular, algorithmic synthesizer.
The device plays compositions which are stored on microcontroller modules. The modules in this presentation are based on the Atmega family and are programmed in GCC (Arduino) and Bascom. In general, the synthesizer can work with any other TTL Microcontroller as PIC, Propeller or even ones which don't exist yet, as the computation happens on the module and the Vektron itself only provides the peripherals."

ReplyDeleteI think using the term modular in the name of this device is incorrect - there's a long established usage of the term modular in the synth world, and this doesn't fit that usage. However, it's an interesting device nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cannibalized Sony watchman inside?

Ya, i dont get it...sounds like junk and it certainly isn't a "modular"...not impressed by anything Atmel or pic involving audio. Why aren't more people into Analog Devices??
