MiK-one DIY Synthesizer - The Guts - Part 1

[r5cpt]

This is so incredibly awesome. I always wanted to do something similar to this AVR-based analog synth. I hope you have some schematics and ROM dumps online.

haste schön gebaut :D aber hättest du anstatt des quarzes nicht auch nen ne555 nehmen können?

[MusicMiK]

@TheTrueM3ga Für den CPU-Takt? Wär sicherlich mal was hochgradig Exotisches und Neues, aber wenn die Hauptanforderung eine stabile Frequenz im MHz-Bereich ist, ist der NE555 so mit das Ungeeignetste, was man da verwenden kann :)

Grundsätzlich verwende ich den NE555 eigentlich gar nicht, weil er bisher noch nie zu irgendeinem meiner Einsatzzwecke gepasst hat.

[TheTrueM3ga]

@MusicMiK achso... dachte wäre fpr die tonfrequenz, weiste wie bei so mini synths:D

[MusicMiK]

@TheTrueM3ga Ehm. Sieht das Projekt mit ca. 1300 Bauteilen nach einem Mini Synth aus?

Der NE555 ist zwar sicherlich ein interessantes Bauteil, wenn man damit einen stimmstabilen VCO bauen will, ist aber der Aufwand, das Ding dazu zu zwingen, deutlich höher als eine geeignete, diskret aufgebaute Schaltung. Das übrigens bei wesentlich weniger Flexibilität der NE555-Variante.

NE555 ist gut für reine Analogsequencer als Takt. Und für Elektronik-Anfänger zum Lernen. Und für LED-Blinker :)

schönes teil! bist du deutscher?

[MusicMiK]

@TheTrueM3ga Yep.

Damn! at 2:14 I supposed you are a machine! very GOOD work! you have a lot of patience!

[MusicMiK]

@bountykiller91 It's not my favourite job, but besides being boring, it's somehow refreshing to fully concentrate for an hour or so onto exactly this task. Usually, you can't go much longer without a break. The assembly took about 4 hours per module, i don't know about the backplane, this was more iterative.

Today, i prefer etching PCBs and use lots of SMD stuff. In fact, i started DIY electronics where i left it about 25 years ago and simply did a fast-forward during the last 5 years :)

i planning to make a synth its possible to make de korg ms-10 ??

[thekidshaveeyes]

If everyone was as detailed in their project summaries as you I'd be ecstatic. This is a beautiful project.

[toranamunter]

"ehm, it's a bit dangerous this way" hahaha :-) that's how it should be :-) what an awesome project, well done! I hope you can share some more videos of your experiments :-)

[spasticteapot]

I hate to say it, but you fit altogether far too well into the stereotype of the precision-obsessed German engineer.

I only wish I was half as skilled. :)

[MusicMiK]

@spasticteapot i'll take this as a compliment :)

This is the positive thing about DIY. You don't care about some percent more or less for the material as the major part is the time you invest into it. It's a passion - so it deserves to be done right, and i tend to overengineer stuff a bit as i hate limits in functionality...

[Ibringthetruth1]

Very difficult to make. how many chips is in that? 100?

[nathanielscott]

Thank you for sharing and providing something for me to aspire to!

[joeyisfunny]

VERY impressive!!!! Im an electrical engineering senior.. I know how difficult this stuff is!

[ErayCelik1992]

schönes video, man merkt das du deutscher bist ^^

[gibson4ever75]

do you have schematics for a simpler version of your synth?

[mdentari]

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. I like backplane design you came up with.
