Greetings Best Community in the Galaxy,
Music and timepieces are two things that are close to a lot of peoples hearts and we got some really great and creative projects around Music Time. The Music Time is now closed and we are looking for volunteers…
Ummmm what?
As with many of us, I've always got all sorts of wacky ideas floating around inside my melon. When Music Time contest came up, I thought it would be the perfect time to make this one happen! I've got a player piano from the early 1900's…
ADSR envelope generator for sound synthesis.
In the previous blog we implemented a Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis module (DDFS ) that can generate an unmodulated audio-frequency tone. In this blog we will implement an ADSR (attack-decay-sustain…
Introduction
In the previous blog, FPGA ADSR envelope generator for sound synthesis , we discussed ADSR envelope generators. The data input to the ADSR module was hardcoded. It would be nice to be able to enter the step increments with knobs for each…
DDFS - Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis
DDFS is a digitally-controlled method of generating multiple frequencies from a reference frequency source. DDFS is a method of producing a tunable digital or analog waveform. First the data points of the waveform…
Musical Box
Introduction
This project was created to participate in a contest and we have modified it and enriched it with features. Even now we are working to add new features in the little free time we can find.
I love music and it accompanies…
Introduction
For the past two months, I have been publishing a series of blogs introducing concepts such as Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis (DDFS), 1-bit Delta Sigma Digital to Analog Converters (DAC), and Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release (ADSR) envelope…
Hello everyone!
I am excited to share with you my latest project, a musical Pomodoro timer for my work desk. I wanted to build something that incorporated both Time and Music in a fun, useful way. So, here we go on the journey of how I built the project…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Part 6 - The Pieces are Coming Together. ) I covered the bring-up and demonstrations of my new Moduals for my Multi-Voice Synthesizer project. Today, I circling back to the Noise Source and integrating it into…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Part 5 - Let's Make Some Noise. ) I covered the work on my Noise source for my Multi-Voice Synthesizer project. Today, I am putting the pieces together and playing some samples.
The PCBs all arrived last…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Part 4 - New schematics and layouts. ) I covered the latest designs for my Multi-Voice Synthesizer project. Today, I am going to make a little Noise.
Going into this project, one of my goals was to use the…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Part 3 - Main Board rework and Echo Module bring-up. ) I covered my bring up of the Main Board and Echo Module. Having finally made each of the circuits function according to plan, I have redesigned the boards…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Part 2 - Voice Module rework. ) I detailed my rework and testing of the Voice Module. In this update I will share my rework of Main Board and bring up of the Echo Module. It has continued to be a struggle to…
In my prior blog ( Multi-Voice Synthesizer - Initial Design ) I detailed my initial design of the three modules of my Multi-Voice Synthesizer project. Well the boards and parts arrived and I jumped into testing the Voice Module which did not go too well…
My interest in electronics started in my early teens (or even sooner). One of my first projects was a simple electronic organ kit, from the Radio Shack P-Box kit series.
This simple kit started a love of electronic music. Mind you, I have absolutely…

Intro
In my ongoing quest for a cheap MIDI synthesizer, I came across the VS1053 chip which is a pretty spectacular audio chip. It has many features like encoding and decoding many audio standards and implementing several different interface standards…
Today you can put a Rasperry Pi Zero or PocketBeagle in a project and have the resources of a whole computer to control your project.
When I was a lad, all we had were a few chips and transistors. One of my favourites was the 555 timer so I decided…
