Theremin Granular Sound Synthetizer (sort of).

Adapted from Auduino, the Lo-Fi granular synthesiser by Peter Knight, Tinker.it

More about Granular Synthesis on wikipedia

Hardware:

  • Arduino Pro Mini board
  • USBASP programmer
  • 4 potentiometers and one infrared distance sensor are connected to Analog (0-5) pins on the Arduino board (real mapping must be determined)
  • MIDI input using RxD signal form serial interface (making the serial interface and arduino bootloader not usable for programming)
  • Audio output on Digital pin 3 (1-bit DAC/8-bits PWM/31.25kHz)
  • one spin plate sensor from a hard drive motor + plates (unused)
  • Amplifier + speaker module / housing

Software:

  • Two voices granular Synthetizer
  • Controls: Synchronization, and Freq (pitch) & Decay for each voice (5 controls)

Sound mappings:

  • linear
  • logarithmic
  • major pentatonic
  • pentatonic
  • minor pentatonic
  • major diatonic
  • minor diatonic
