#synthesizer — Public Fediverse posts

A quick recap of what I'm currently working on: I'm building a subtractive monosynth on an STM32F446 microcontroller, with all code hand-written in assembly.

The goal is to build a synth expander that is inexpensive, independent from the computer and has enough physical controls to be suitable for live performance.

Part of the motivation for this project is that I didn't want to remain dependent on huge janky software stacks for doing music, especially now that things are quickly ensloppifying. Nor did I want to spend hundreds of euros on a hardware synth (and not learn a single thing about how they actually work in the process).

I've been working on this since May (with large study-related breaks in between) and it can now output a nice sawtooth signal over line out and react to MIDI Note On messages. Next up will be implementing envelope / NoteOff.

"Waiting for a Girl Like You" is a 1981 #powerBallad by the British-American #rock band #Foreigner released as the second #single from the album 4 (1981) and was co-written by #LouGramm and #MickJones. The opening motif was written by #IanMcDonald and the distinctive #synthesizer theme was performed by the then-little-known #ThomasDolby.
