In my previous post, I’ve explained how to add midi control to the monotron’s pitch, gate and frequency cut-off using a Teensy chip. The good news is that the Teensy’s got plenty of raw power left leaving room for extra … Continue reading

After doing a lot of background work on my ‘beagleboard compatible’ synth infrastructure, I decided this week-end to work a bit on something that would for once be audible. My plan was to finally test how overloading the two … Continue reading
