Ghost in Translation 16 Inputs 16 Ouputs Teensy Eurorack


video upload by Ghost In Translation

"Using multiplexers for the inputs, the 2 ADCs of Teensy 4.0, shift registers for the outputs, I am able to sample 16 analog inputs at 44.1kHz each, and output 16 sigma-delta digital signals that can be filtered to produce analog signals up to 50Hz.

I am confident I can improve frequency and resolution of the outputs just with software, and will work on that later. For now this is enough for gates, triggers, CVs and LEDs.

This board is my platform for Eurorack modules, Motherboard 2. Everything will be available and documented on GitHub when I finalize a few more things.

Eurorack Drone Noise


video upload by Ghost In Translation

"I'm currently developing the second output of DRONE, it uses filtered noise at the source instead of sine/triangle like it is on the first output.

Around DRONE are KICK and MIXER. This is the new revision for MIXER, with 8 inputs over 2 channels. KICK is being triggered by an LFO.

MOTHERBOARD v2 rev7


video upload by Ghost In Translation

"This is revision 7 of Motherboard v2. I added an op amp in buffer mode in this one to solve an issue I found in previous prototype, a resistor divider ratio was being altered in some situations... The op amp is the tiny SMD chip at the beginning.

KEYS prototype


video upload by Ghost In Translation

"This is the very first time I create a working prototype using multiple of my tactile keys.

Those who follow me on Instagram know by now that I've been working on making an entire tactile keyboard for quite some time. I tested many different designs for the keys, had a few failures, and recently it finally started to work.

The keys feature:
- very discreet
- 1 wire only per key
- pressure sensitive

The circuit to which the keys are connected is my current prototype of the MOTHERBOARD v2.0. It is based on Teensy 4.0.

My goal is to create a 32 keys keyboard...

"SYNTH is a modular FM synthesizer, based on eurorack physical format it has however no patch cables on the front but has rather midi and audio jacks in the back.

This product includes 1 front panel and the 2 necessary back pcb.

Colour option:
You have the choice of simple black (1 side) or bicolour (2 sides, just flip it) black/white or black/aluminum.

Note that the white is done with the silkscreen layer and the 'aluminum' is done with the copper layer so it is not perfectly flat as shown on pictures compare to the black that is the base board colour.

I took the photos on an angle on purpose to increase the imperfections, however they are not as strong when looking the panel straight."

Ghost In Translation DRONE & MIDI


video by Ghost In Translation

"Here is a demo of DRONE being controlled by MIDI, in this case I use an UC33 connected to a laptop and the laptop is sending MIDI over USB to DRONE.

DRONE is a drone synth base on MOTHERBOARD6. I've been working on adding MIDI CC callbacks to the MOTHERBOARDs and it's now easy to catch MIDI CC messages and do anything with them.

Additionally I've made a web editor that allows to set the MIDI CC values for each available param of a module just by connecting it by USB.

As a reminder, I've built 3 MOTHERBOARDs which are modular pcbs that I use to create all my modules. They are modular in the way that they allow to build all sorts of modules out of the same PCBs. They also come with a base code that abstracts the low level electronics components handling which makes it easy to code any module on top of it.

If you want to learn more about my modules and the MOTHERBOARDs, check them on GitHub, all code is open source: https://github.com/ghostintranslation

Ghost In Translation DRONE x CYCLE


video by Ghost In Translation

"I'm adding some new functionality to my modules, this is still a work in progress but will be soon available.

The modules can now easily listen to MIDI CC messages and use them to control anything. Additionally I am working on a web editor to be able to configure all the MIDI settings.

For this demo I also pimped CYCLE and added a 'MIDI CC scale' in which mode it sends CC messages instead of notes.

Ghost In Translation SimpleSynth FM AM RING Teensy Based Eurorack Module


Published on Dec 16, 2019 Ghost In Translation


"I finally 'finished' my custom synth SimpleSynth.

SimpleSynth is a Teensy based synth with the main objective to keep it simple (code wise and hardware wise).

Timestamps at the bottom!

In this demo I was sending MIDI notes via USB to the synth and I recorded the audio raw coming also through USB.

Features
- FM, AM and Ring synthesis with 1 carier and 1 modulator
- Polyphonic synth, Arpeggiator and Drone modes
- Controllable modulator gain and frequency
- Controllable Attack, Decay, Release
- MIDI over USB
- MIDI through the Hobbytronics USB Host Board Controller
- Audio jack output
- Audio over USB

I used a Teensy 3.2 because Teensy 4.0 is not yet capable of all the USB possibilities and will be ready in a few months probably. So I will post an update when I test it with Teensy 4.0.
