Motion FM Synthesizer

Note the following is translated via Google Translate. You can find the original Japanese further below.

"Now, popular microcontroller board 'micro: bit'.

By combining this with YAMAHA 's sound board "YMF 825", I found that it is possible to build very creative sounds using the Python language.

The sound is controlled in real time only with the acceleration sensor of the microcomputer board. The point to be aware of is that the YMF 825 is driven by the SPI signal, not the MIDI sound chip. It is control to write parameters (frequency, algorithm, degree of modulation ...) of the FM synthesizer to the registers to the last. In order to control with MIDI signals, you need a driver to convert from MIDI to SPI, but fortunately the sample program has been published, in which the program corresponding to the driver was included.

"今、人気真っ盛りマイコンボード"micro:bit"。

これにYAMAHAの音源ボード"YMF825"を組み合わせることにより、Python言語を用いて非常にクリエイティブなサウンド構築が可能になることがわかりました。

マイコンボードの加速度センサのみでサウンドをリアルタイムにコントロールします。注意すべき点は、YMF825はSPI信号によって駆動する仕様であり、MIDI音源チップでないことです。あくまでもFMシンセサイザーのパラメーター(周波数、アルゴリズム、変調度・・)をレジスタに書き込むという制御なのです。MIDI信号で制御するためにはMIDIからSPIに変換するドライバが必要となりますが、幸いにサンプルプログラムが公開されていて、その中にドライバに相当するプログラムが内包されていました。
