GumpherDM3 Arduino Based DIY Hardware Chiptune Synth

Uploaded on Jan 19, 2017 GumpherDM3

"This is a MIDI capable Arduino controlled monophonic semi-modular analog synthesizer. It has 4 VCOs (2 Audio, one Sub-audio and one hybrid that switches between either), a 4-pole low pass filter, a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) and two envelope generators (AR1 and AR2). It also has an arpeggiator built in to add some videogame-esque sounds. My awesome wife printed out the decals using the Silhouette Cameo and transferred them onto the wooden control panel with a layer of Modpodge to make it scratch resistant. I never really sat down to figure out how many octaves it can work with before the tuning goes bonkers, but it appears to handle six octaves pretty well.

I hope you enjoy the video. I had a really great time learning about this stuff and actually getting to build a working synth.

Tech Stuff: The VCOs, LPF and VCA cores are all built around the LM13700 OTA using mostly datasheet schematics with component values adjusted to work on +-9V supply. Also, since the synth uses the LM13700 for all VCOs and VCF, all exponential current sources use PNP transistors. I added in my own design for input CV signal mixing to the modules and output signal normalizers (to produce both CV and audio signals). I attempted to design my own CV generator using the Arduino and while it works more-or-less, I learned first hand about the challenges with using the PWM analog signals produced by the micro-controller as CV signals for the synth modules. I don't think I would do anything differently in this project, but next time I'll use a 16-bit DAC for analog CV signal generation rather than the Arduino."

Spotted this one over on Ask.Audio where you'll find some additional words from creator Guenther.

YAMAHA YS100 FM DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER - 4op FM with EFFECTS

via this auction

Here's one we don't see often. Funkiest looking synth ever? You tell me. Note the serrated ends. The following are some details from the listing:

"In GREAT Condition EXCEPT: The first three keys are broken (see photos)

Everything else JUST FINE

EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN SOUNDING Fourth Generation 16-Bit, 8-Part Multitimbral, Programmable Multi-Waveform 4-Operator FM Synthesis with Onboard EFFECTS and Data Card Storage. The sound engine is essentially identical to the TQ5 Synth Module minus the sequencer, and the next generation from the rack-mounted 4-Op TX81Z.

Because of this synth's unusual styling, it has become very collectible apart from its ability to create just about classic 80s FM sound you'll ever need. Especially those icy DX Strings and that DEEP, snappy LATELY BASS."

DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard: Improvisation LXXVI

Published on Feb 1, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"A lightsome and carefree improvisation for keyboard synthesizer. This is actually a re-post.

The Poly Evolver Keyboard offers some wonderful digital wave shapes that respond in fascinating ways to filter alterations achieved through keyboard technique. In this patch, the envelope subtly affects the cut off frequency, based on the manner in which one strikes each note, for a sound that crosses between a plucking and a bowing of a string. The patch is rather sensitive and difficult to play without having an occasional "trip" that creates an unwanted "pop," due in part to voice re-assignment.
