    Building a simple oscillator

    Hi, hopefully this is the right place to post this question. I’m looking to build an oscillator. I have all the parts ready to order and I wanted to double check that I’m not making an obvious mistake. I’m completely new to this and I thought it would be worth a second opinion to know if the...

    MIDI input circuit to trigger 'analog synth voices'

    Sincere apologies for any ignorance I'm about to display, I'm more an artist than an engineer. If I am building a synthesizer which has multiple relaxation transistor oscillators all going into one output, running off of 9v, how I would I look into combining a MIDI input so you could control...

    Circuit bricks Nano (power supply)

    Hi, I am making a module for a DIY modular synthesizer. The module applies an ADSR-envelope to an audio signal using a 10K MPC41010 digital potentiometer. I suspect, I made an error in the circuit, since I now have 2 Nano's which will not power on from USB (pwr led flashes a few times and then...

    opinions wanted please: how should I retrofit an analog synthesizer to be computer controlled.

    Hi! I would like some opinions please if you dont mind. I have one of those new, small analog synthesizers (Behringer Model D). It has a bunch of potentiometers, and switches, etc. to control the sound manually with hands/fingers. In my dream, I want to be able to control the sound...

    Breath Controller with 3.5mm Jack to make 0 - 5 V Variable voltage (Control Voltage) on 6.5mm Jack

    I am a beginner and wish to tackle this project... I have an old Yamaha breath controller device that has a 3.5mm Jack and requires -9v on the tip (the sleeve is positive). It draws a current of approx 7mA to 20mA depending on how hard you blow it (from what I have managed to research but may...

    CD40106 Schmitt trigger not working

    I have recently been attempting to delve into the world of electronics and have been trying to build a very basic oscillator using the CD40106 chip. I have set up the circuit as follows: 9v to pin 14 pin 7 to ground 1 microfarad capacitor from pin 1 to ground 100k ohm potentiometer between pin...
