Awesome. Aside from being really cool and simple, it also serves as a nice intro into “algorithmic synthesis” for people like me. I’m going to have a lot of with this.

@tig; why get a propeller? It’s obviously very stable on the arduino platform, and spin isn’t very easy to learn.

wow… this… is… awesome! I’m totally gonna have to check this out!

Soon as I saw the post I loaded it on my spare arduino and bam, I gots me some funky sounds!

The fun part about this is if you don’t pull down (or up) your analog inputs with potentiometers, they’ll flutter around based on ambient EM noise. I stuck sewing needles in my analog headers, and while touching the glass of my monitor, I could change the tone of the synth by moving my other hand near the pins! Not quite a theremin, but still pretty darn cool.

If only I had the money for some real parts ;)

And if you have a spare arduino lying around, don’t forget to check out http://blog.makezine.com/archive/arduino/

It took me a little under five minutes to put this together and make some noise. Gosh darn it, I love the Arduino.

All we need is someone to get a non-windows solution for driving the ISCP header with the X3 breakout…

Wow! Great work! This is an amazing music instrument! I am really fascinated about what somebody can do with no expensive tools and a lot of imagination. Once again: great, great work!
