I guess I should have said: it *feels* like it's been about a year.... Smile

I've gotten distracted with some other stuff that I'll unveil pretty soon.

Thanks,

Hi hanley,

Hm. I'll have to dig it up. It's been awhile! Just off the top of my head: it's pretty easy to throw together MIDI sequencers if you use this MIDI library:

Hi loss1234 (dan),

Just at a guess, considering your posts here and on Synth DIY, I'd say that you'd be happiest starting with an Arduino. The Arduino IDE is cross platform (so it'll run on the Mac ...

This was new to me, and really nice:

Hi oscillate_wildly1,

The ADSR and LFO are both control voltage generators--you use them to control some other module that processes an audio signal. They don't really make an audio signal on their ...

Hi droffset, State Machine,

Speaking of Arduino variants--I'm really looking forward to getting one of these:

Hi ClearWaterNW,

It's not a PIC, but an Arduino + ladyada's Wave Shield will do what you want:

Hi skrasms,

You might take a look at the Wave Shield for Arduino, at:

Thanks,

Shoot, I meant to mention: I just use my Arduino board to program the chips, then deploy them in other boards (all you need then is a crystal, two capacitors, and a resistor). Given the relatively low ...

Hi ScottG,

That's perfect, thanks!

Hi ScottG,

Hi Inventor,

I think the answer is...it depends. You can get some of the C compilers for free, for limited periods of time. Other seem to be free with certain development/evaluation boards. My expe ...
