Revisiting and upgrading

A fellow DIY member was building the TeensyPoly6 build that I made a few years ago with a Teensy 3.6 and a sound card. As he was redesigning it to run on a Teensy 4.1 I got involved and half way through decided that the best way to help was to upgrade my synth to a T4.1 so we were on the same page. I had issues with the sound card being a UDA1334 and just making white noise on this build, so I switched to a PCM5102A board and that resolved the sound issues, also increased the polyphony from 6 to 12 voices .

Ooh, I didn’t know this was based on Nyström’s synth. I looked into it a while ago but, well, teensy 3.5 availability.

Thanks for making an updated version, I have added it to my “to build” list. :heart:

Same here but I think I scrounged a 3.2 for the Notes&Volts Teensy synth project and got sidetracked by some experiment I was also doing in Pure Data trying to model a diac. It’s amazing how one little distraction can fill the parts drawer with the unclaimed and unused.

JFDI mate.

I have a bunch of small boards for various ideas that never materialised. Specifically 4 daisy seed boards and a development platform.

I think I’m one of many with daisies in their drawers

I have only 2 unused Daisy Seeds here.

I had such plans but underestimated the size and irresistible allure of the junk in my drawers*.

There is a design though, again in a plethora of paper notebooks; one will be a dedicated part of my guitar rig for fx and sequencing experiments (using a Pi Zero W as a headless interface) and the other I’m mounting as a general dev board attached to the pc I use for Pure Data and other sound design nonsense.

Ah, one day! Best to all.
