Building the Auduino Synthesiser (Arduino based DIY synth)

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on building the Auduino synthesiser, a relatively ’simple’ circuit first created by Peter Knight. !! Featured in the Electromaker show: episode 3 ( The Auduino works by creating two triangle waves with pitch and decay knobs, which you turn and tune to form interesting harmonics. The singular knob to the left of my Auduino affects the frequency of the repetition of a grain of this noise - this means that you can tune it to a wide variety of pitches from deep bass growls to high pitched ambient squeals. The code which runs it is relatively simple, and very well noted, and therefore this makes a great project for someone perhaps looking into changing the code up too! I quite like how it’s come together, and I hope to create some interesting music using it as well as building more modular instruments!
