Mads The Synthesizer Addict's First Homemade Synthesizer


My First Homemade Synthesizer! Published on Jun 27, 2018

"This machine was created using Axoloti http://www.axoloti.com/
Thanks to Johannes Taelman for making it so easy for me to get started making synthesizers!
This has helped me coping with my synthesizer addiction for a while...

At its core, its a 5 voice digital FM synth which has 3 modulators.
- Its being sequenced by the Arturia Keystep.
You can choose how much of each modulator can effect the carrier and you have an attack & decay knob for one of the modulators.
This makes for a nice FM sounding machine that is easily modified, but also lacking depth.

- It comes with a 4 stage envelope and has an infinity knob to basically sustain the notes forever.

- You can switch out the filter & resonance knobs to be controlling a bitcrusher effect OR the super far-out-granular effect you hear all over the video.

Where it ironically says "Instrument Selection" you have reverb and a knob that controls either reverb amount, decay or lowpass filtering on the reverb it self.

The front panel and the wooden box was laser cut and laser engraved. I used 3D software to design and measure the box and a vector software to create the layout of the front and back panel.
-I would not recommend using acrylic for the front panel, it bends...

Parts & tools where bought from http://musikding.de/

Thanks for watching!"
