The Shruti-1 from
Mutable Instruments
|
Here are some useful links if you want to get into building gear yourself.
- www.ucapps.de - Thorsten Klose's MIDIbox hompage. Highly recommended if you want to build
your own SID synth or other excellent machines!
- SmashTV shop: for buying the Midibox parts in USA. Great beginner-friendly PCBs.
- Mike's Elektronik Shop: the same for buying in Germany, but different PCBs.
Other nice projects to check out:
- MIDIBOX FM synth: uses the early 90s Soundblaster chips (OPL3). Very unique machine, with the
FM sound of early 90s games like Monkey Island. Or like a Yamaha DX-7.
- Shruti-1: great small monophonic synth with optional analogue filters, that can be built in one day.
- Meeblip: another amazing small synth, not unlike the Shruti-1, but with more knobs and a
different
concept.
- Highly Liquid: very good Retrofit MIDI kits, so you can play old Casio (and other) synths via the
computer, a AKAI MPC etc.
