Here’s one more Auduino:

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

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

@techninja
great tip! I only have one spare potentiometer laying around so I was only making some limited sounds with the auduino and was about to put it away for a while. then i read your post and gave it a whirl. seriously strange sounds. beats the hell out of my crude bit-banging experiments

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/

That’s the last straw. I’m getting one of these things.

Gonna try to build one myself first probably. Any recommendations over BatchPCB?

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

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.
