MiK-one is the name of my DIY synthesizer, and this video shows you the modules built into it. It's not a full development story, but it might leave an impression.

More development details can be found in the german synthesizer forum: http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/viewtopic.php?t=6220

Due to YouTube length limits, i had to split this video into 2 parts - this is the first part.

This synth has some sort of homepage here:

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

  • @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.

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

  • @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?

  • @TheTrueM3ga Yep.

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

  • 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. :)

  • 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.

  • @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 :)

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