MozMo : the brilliant Arduino Mozzi synth in an Eurorack hardware.
17/01/2015The idea Mozzi by Tim Barras is an outstanding library that allow the Arduino to produce complex and exiting sounds with almost no additional hardware. (In fact MozMo uses the hifi mode that requires … 2 resistors and a cap !) The idea was to…
Talkie Eurorack Module – Part 2 : Schematic & Pcb
30/12/2014Schematic Here is the schematic. Nothing really special : A simple RC filter I have used before with the Talkie library and a few pots to fiddle with the various functions. All the entries (cv and gate) are now protected with diodes to allow connections…
Talkie Eurorack Module – Part 1 : Concept
08/10/2014Credits This arduino based module works thanks to a clever library : Talkie from https://github.com/going-digital/Talkie I have already used this library to build a Talking clock It is so simple to use that building a sound module requires only 5 pots and a button to…
SSI 263 text to speech in Python via Nanpy on the Arduino
08/02/2014The almighty SSI-263 speech synthesizer chip As you can read on the Wikipedia page, the SSI-263 is the other name for the Votrax SC-02. It is becoming quite difficult to find, much harder then it’s little brother the Votrax SC-01 but I finally got one by…
SN76489 arduino shield – part 1 testing the chip
23/11/2013I always loved to play with sound making chip back in the ’80 (I made a synthesizer with the SN76477 in `79 which is sill working) Today it is still possible to buy some SN76489 on ebay and a few website are decribing how to…
Arduino talking clock
23/12/2012Talkie I’ve discovered this great library here https://github.com/going-digital/Talkie They have done an impressive job. The library is provided with a large vocabulary. It is a software implementation of the Texas Instruments speech synthesis architecture (Linear Predictive Coding). It is just amazing to discover what the…
Votrax SC-01A PWM clocked
03/10/2012The idea I got this brilliant idea by John Loadsman who is using a version of my previous code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUbTZU_FCz0&feature=context-cha I also wanted to digitally control the Votrax’s pitch to implement some new functions. (keep in mind that I want the Votrax to sing) The hardware modification…
