I wrote a (lengthy) article for my blog about the #GEM #S2 #Turbokit. I still have to proofread it, so it is still a little rough around the edges, but if you want to give a peek here it is: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=elettronica/gem_s2/gem_s2.inc #music #homepage #blog #generalmusic #electronics #DIYelectronics #diy #diysynth

Vous reprendrez bien un peu de bleep-bloop ?
Là j'ai monté un VCO "2osc" / "FM", sur base arduino nano, qui utilise la lib Mozzi. Impressionnant ce que ça arrive à sortir de ces petits MCUs 8 bits qui datent d'il y a bien 20 ou 30 ans.
Aussi ça utilise le "NASA trick" pour faire un DAC 16 bits à partir de deux PWMs 8 bits. Ça marche vraiment bien !

The Watasoge synth module now responds to manual gate signals.
I had Claude Code add an input module using edge-triggered interrupts — rising edge starts the tone, falling edge stops it for melodic sounds, while percussive sounds just fire and decay on their own. Worked on the first try.

#diysynth #modularsynth #STM32 #vibecoding

Next step for the Watasoge synth module: playing wavetables on the STM32G431KB.
I described the desired firmware architecture to Claude Code — separate modules for synthesis, output, and player control. After a few rounds of feedback, 220 C major scales came out of the speakers, one octave per waveform.

Development felt as simple as writing a text.

https://github.com/framlin/watasoge

#diysynth #modularsynth #STM32 #vibecoding

Vibe coding meets embedded: I let Claude Code handle the entire firmware for an STM32G431KB — no IDE, no STM32CubeMX, not a single line of code written by hand. 20 minutes later, a 440 Hz sine tone came out of the speakers via a PCM5102 DAC.
Normally STM32 firmware is fiddly configuration work. This time the AI took care of everything — from chip setup and wiring to working audio output.

#diysynth #modularsynth #STM32 #vibecoding

Built 220 wavetables for my Eurorack synth project using Claude Code, modeled after Mutable Instruments Plaits — both additive synthesis and
extracted from WAV samples. First round was all clicks and pops, but after another iteration of analysis and fixes, the result is a clean set of
melodic and percussive waveforms ready for the firmware.

Today I begin with watasoge, a wavetable sound generator.

I want to learn how to build a digital Eurorack synthesizer module.

I will us a NUCLEO-G431KB board.

It will be a wavetable synthesizer, because I think that's the simplest way to generate audio signals. That makes it seem like the most suitable approach for gaining initial experience.

The development will rely on an approach that has become known as "vibe coding".

10 years and a few days ago, I was running a DIY Synth workshop with STM32F7 dev boards in our kitchen in North London... Still have ~10 of these boards.

Here are also two videos (live performances) of some softsynths (some with MIDI via USB support) which we built in these workshops (I did quite a few of those in that year)...

Working on my first own #eurorack module: a bluetooth transmitter for my headphones. The electronics are straightforward but building a nice and clean module (frontplate, button, perfboard, etc.) is a new challenge for me. Wish me luck. #diysynth

I just published the code of the first prototype of Diapasonix, a bass-like synth and MIDI controller I'm developing.
It uses the fabuolous AMY synth engine and runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Loads of presets and effects!

I got the two #ARMSID ’s, it took a few days to make them work in my circuit as they require the phi2 1MHz clock that was not needed for the #SwinSID, so I had tho see how to generate it with the STM32. My gosh, the sound quality is amazing 🤩 No more aliasing in the filters and deep and convincing basses. The ARMSID is truly an amazing little thing, I love it! #retrocomputing #SID #C64 #C128 #Commodore #diysynth

I spent the evening coding again for my little dual SID Midi synthesiser. Now it has a simple arpeggiator that is cool. I still have to implement the change of tempo and allow to sync with Midi. However, I never really liked the SwinSID filters, so I just ordered two ARMSID’s to try. #Sid #Commodore64 #diysynth #ARMSID #MIDI

What to do when your modular system needs more and more cables? And the hangers available to buy don't appeal to you... And you have a few old saw blades and an old lampshade? Exactly, you build a cable harness to combat spaghetti syndrome.

The metal edges are, of course, nicely deburred and rounded. A nice feature is that the saw blades can be rotated.

I'm using SK6812mini RGB LEDs in a personal project, and I'm not happy about them at all. They are super finicky, hard to solder by hand and TBH they consume too much power. I don't even need all this brightness. Can anyone recommend an RGB LED within the same form factor (~3mm), which is both less power-hungry/bright and easier to solder? #electronics #diysynth #synthdiy

This time my #soldering was a fail. This is supposed to be a #keyboard controller for playing my #StackSynth but the sample and hold part needs rework. The output voltage keeps rising. At first I noticed that I used a ceramic #capacitor where I should've used a polymer one, but this bodge didn't help. Maybe the #TL074 are out of spec (most likely fake ones but worked fine in the other modules) or the FETs are bad...
The keys will be attached using a stereo 3.5mm audio jack, and will be extendable like my perfboard version.
