Awesome project, im building a synthesizer for my electronics coursework at college. Making good progress with it: i have a VCF, an LFO, two digital PIC oscillators with individual waveshapers and a 3 octave keyboard. :)
It's in my studio. Hooked up and ready to go. Just missing someone using it :) But it's used in the track "Summer Evening". Just check this vid. or the "DIY Synthesizer Demo".
It's just my school english without having native speakers or so around to improve the speech :)
Ah. You mean the electronics. In fact - i don't know. I started playing around with electricity with 6 years, later had a standard education in electronics, did nothing for 15 years and suddenly had the interest back again.
Most knowledge comes via google :)
I think, the trick is - not learning everything in detail, but understand the basics very good and use those fundamentals for the rest.
In Deutsch wär mal nicht schlecht. Dein Englisch ist gut,was die Vokabeln betrifft,die Aussprache und Geschwindigkeit sind bissl schwieriger für mich. Ich hab 2mal überlegt,was ein Embli-Vier ist. Versuch es mal so: Ämp-lie-fei-ja
Aber es soll konstruktiv gemeint sein,nicht falsch verstehen. Respekt für deine Kenntnisse,hab mir heute einen Lötkolben gekauft und nu gehts bei mir los.
Wäre toll,wenn du mal ein paar Startbegriffe und links veröffentlichen könntest,wo man sich als Anfänger in die Programmierung von Oszillatoren und Filtern oder allgemein DSPs mal reinlesen kann. Ich habe in der Schulzeit Basic und Turbopascal gehabt,allerdings eher rudimentär. Kann mir trotzdem nicht vorstellen,dass man dafür so megakomplizierte Algorithmen braucht. Frag mich nur,wie kommt die Software in den Chip? :)
Sorry, da bist Du hier komplett falsch. Das ist ein Analogsynthesizer. Die Prozessoren sind nur zur Steuerung der analogen Komponenten da. Mit DSP-Programmierung will ich mich zwar auch mal noch befassen, aber im Moment hab ich da gelinde Gesagt gar keinen Plan von :)
Software in den Chip - dafür gibts Programmiergeräte. Wenn die Software nicht in nem externen Flash liegt.
I wouldn't start developing such circuits without my breadboard :) When i started synth-DIY in 2006, i really needed to experiment around a lot. Even today - where i think i can develop a circuit and put it together and it just works - i would miss the breadboard to verify and optimize everything.
I don't have lots of literature. I read the most stuff online, Wikipedia, Google. My literature are the datasheets of the components i use :)
amazing workmanship... the symmetry in your component layouts. when the video started, my question was "which CAD software did you use"... but then at 2:30 you are saying that this is mostly done from your head w/ no schematics?! total respect, man, total respect. but won't you find it difficult to go back and edit things? I wish you showed more of the bottom side of the boards... Anyway, your work is beautiful. I cant wait to hear the Mik-one. PS I do similar stuff, visit sometime. -EA
Hi , this is very elegant electronic art , perfect presentation , whow ! i am very far from this perfection , good lord , are you working at at&t ? genius work , almost out of this world, alien like perfection , i will keep my eyes wide open on your site .
Thank you for the flowers. No, i even don't work in electronics at all, i just use this as compensation for my boring job in a datacenter of a large enterprise :)

Awsome :D
I wanna learn how to build stuff like this my self.
Ive been thinking to try some simple stuff as winter project.

You have an awesome accent dude!
Where'd you learn how to do this?

Klar wäre das Ganze auf Deutsch nicht schlecht, wäre für mich ja auch einfacher :)
Aber wenn ich so schau, wo die Besucher insgesamt herkommen, sind dann vielleicht 3 Leute glücklicher und die anderen 100 verstehens nimmer...
Ich dachte schon mal über die deutsche Sprachversion nach, aber dann müsste ich alles doppelt hier unterbringen. Mehrere Tonspuren geht leider nicht.
Aber Du darfst auch gern fragen, wenn was unklar ist :)

I had a listen to some recordings, Mik-one sounds great. It has cool possibilities once the modulation gets complex.
Thanks for describing your work flow. I am a bit different - I avoid the breadboard.
Which literature do you find particularly useful?
I like:
Musical Applications of Microprocessors (Chamberlin)
Electronic Music Circuits (Klein)

Damned. Again the first reply was dropped by YouTube. So the short version :)
CAD software - yes, gEDA is my favourite on OSX via the Fink project.
Editing - not necessary usually - i build the modules when everything is well-tested on the breadboard.
For more stuff, i added the link to the home page of the MiK-one in the video info, there you find sounds, photos and more.

It remind me of the type of work that STEVEN WOZNIAK was doing at Apple , i cant believe my eyes ,,,ayayayaye i am sudenly so small ,
