DIY Synthesizer Demo

This is a little demonstration of my DIY synthesizer. Due to video length limits, just a very very small subset of the features is shown.

The synthesizer provides 2 VCOs, 2 12dB state variable filters, ring modulator, noise and an extremely flexible routing system with 26 VCAs to get everything together. It consists of about 1300 parts and is completely built onto veroboards.

what name do you give this synthesizer?

A+ design

[MusicMiK]

I called it the MiK-one

Approximately how much money did it take you (such as buying the parts) to build that synthesizer, in Euros?

[MusicMiK]

A while ago, i calculated this, IIRC it consists of around 1300 parts with an allover price of around 200 EUR, maybe this was without the power supply, which again might eat up 30 EUR or so.

very powerfull little box there!

All the sounds you demonstrated have a particular "flavour" while being very dynamic...

I was wondering... are you using a microcontroller for the Midi input?

[MusicMiK]

Several microcontrollers are used, not just for MIDI reception, but for CV generation, envelopes and LFOs (both are the same firmware features called modulation programs), tuning and control of all those analog switches.

I just update the video info with a link to the schematics (at least a preview currently).

AWESOME MAN .... NICE WORK ***  =:D

i like your work

[Noname7401]

man that nice : )

SCI Mulitrak as the master keyboard/?

[PasionGuitarra]

Please release the schematics!!!! ;DD nice workkkk, I plan to make my own synth some day!

[MusicMiK]

Yes, i also designed it. Was some sort of educational project for me, my first electronics project, and so it has some minor design problems, but all in all, it works :)

einfach ein verdammt geiles ding... der hammerecht.. und toll das man es mit dem bcr steuern kann... leider hab ich echt keine ahnung von elektonik oder programmierung von pics... würde mir auch gern mal selber so einen bauen.. aber da nen einstieg zu finden.. gar nich so einfach! TOP video
