  • Arduino: Mellotronium loops…

    a little improvisation i did after improving the LFO phase modulation and arpeggiator functions of the Mellotronium: an ATMega328P-based mirco-synthesizer. there are plenty of improvements to be made, but it’s surprising how much you can make of these microcontrollers do. combined with a Roland RC-50, it’s music composition on the fly. you’ll have to excuse…

  • Mellontronium vs. the Sun…

    the micro-synthesizer is getting fitted to draw it’s power from the sun via a 6V 200mA solar cell. it’s pretty impressive what the sun along with a cheap collection of photovoltaic cells can do.

  • Mellotronium revised…

    here’s an update on the new additions/approach to the Mellotronium. i’m attempting to redo the SD card routines once i get the functionality added. using the SD library just doesn’t work right when reading byte values at 8kHz. i’ve looked into the WaveHC library with the most success, but had to modify not to use…

  • Arduino: the 8-bit Mellotronium prototype

    i’ve been pretty Arduino obsessed over the past month. i got in my head this idea about building a midi-controlled digital sampler that uses SD cards for storage after thumbing through the Arduino Cookbook and have finally started to make some headway on the project. there were some major obstacle to overcome, unfortunately. the first…
