Arduino Noise Maker

Code + schematics: http://little-scale.blogspot.com/2008/01/arduino-noise-maker-info.html

An Arduino is making some nice sounds and noises using a 6 bit R2R DAC, a 544-byte waveform array, a 3 bit envelope controlled by an external oscillator and a 3 bit vibrato / pitch shift envelope which can be scaled within a 10 bit range. The noise maker is also able to easily travel through the wave array by assigning an internal sawtooth LFO function on or off.

was that a "make it" kit, or did you put a bunch of arduino components together to make this? i want to learn how to make something like this! really beautiful sounds instead of just squeels and blips. could you steer me in that direction? please!!

[littlescale]

well, these are all just off the shelf components (apart from the arduino) - and should be very cheap to buy from a local electronics store. if you want to see the code and schematics, please look at the movie info section on this page :)

what are the chips?

[littlescale]

4040 x 2, 40106.

Thanks, is there a way to get the diagram?

Hi there, in the movie info you can find a link to the code and schematics.

This is great! I have the arduino and the basics, but I think I'm still too amateur for this build. I want to build a noise contraption like this as well, but do you have a simpler build than this one?

When you get a chance, let me know! Thanks!

Nice work.

thats not noise thats music! ;)

why would anyone need that thing ARDUINO?

[jensmaa]

Awesome!

[Simmen12]

I dont know if its possible, but i guess thet you could make it into a synthesiezer!

Really cool, 5 stars

AHHAHAHHA.... those sounds are kinda freak, anyways pretty cool... arduino is just awesome
