Here, i show you how to update the MIDItriggs firmware if you use the MIDIboot loader in your MCU, which is an ATmega88 in my unit.

Besides this, i ...   more

Seen as a repair, this was a failure. But i think, it could be of interest anyway.

Now this happens if you try to repair phantom problems. If you us...   more

Hi Synthpeter. Just changed the subscription. I'm not really a gamer, so i'm just watching your synth activities :)

Hi!
I just want to tell you that I am starting a new account for my music and electronic projects.
Panzerkanone44 already has some game clips and the name is not appropriate for my electronic projects :)
So it will only be used for games and stuff like that.
My new account is called "Synthpeter" and will probably be more interesting to you.
I'd be honored if you would subscribe to it instead (or as well heh).

Best regards,
Peter

@Panzerkanone44 - yep, such a simple thing can be a lot of work when you have a look at all the necessary steps. But analog electronics makes a lot of fun - just play around with it on the breadboard, parts are not too expensive those days, play around, learn. And when you have something working, you can glue the MCU and DAC to it and use your programming skills to get most out of it. Projects like the MiK-one heavily rely on a lot of software, the hardware in fact is quite simple. Using software to control analog electronics is the top of DIY fun i think. Just play and learn :)

Hi and thanks for subscribing to my channel. Although I hope you don't expect any amazing rocket science coming from me since I'm not really educated in electronics. I know basic electronic stuff, I'm a programmer by occupation, but analogue electronic scares me :)
I really enjoyed watching your clips. When watching your series about the small stone phaser I wanted to build one too but when I was half-way through the series I realized all the work that you have to go through. And, considering I have my own insane project (matrix 1000 editor) I guess I should just try to focus on that instead ;)

Cheers!

Huch, den Kommentar hab ich ja bisher noch gar nicht gesehen :)
Um einen Oszillator mit mehreren Wellenformen zu realisieren, braucht es ein wenig mehr Aufwand als einen 555. Üblicherweise gibt es genau einen Oszillator, der genau eine Wellenform produziert, die anderen Wellenformen werden dann über Waveshaper davon abgeleitet. Die gängigen Wellenformen lassen sich am Besten aus einem Sägezahn ableiten, daher ist auch fast jeder Synthesizer-VCO ein Sägezahnoszillator.
Ich arbeite auf meiner Homepage gerade an einer Dokumentation, die all dies beschreiben wird, aber das dauert alles noch etwas, bis es da das "Synthesizer-Entwicklungs-HowTo" gibt.
Bis dahin gibts aber für den MiK-one und den MonoMiK Schaltpläne zum Studium.

hallo,

ich habe eine Frage....ich habe einen VCO auf dem 555 timer aufgebaut...wie kann ich jetzt aus dem Signal Sinus-, Square oder Trangle Wellen machen? ...Welche IC brauche ich dafür?

Danke
