Granular Synth – Arduino MIDI Build
A personal build of the Auduino Granular Synthesizer, a project by Notes and Volts. Built from scratch as a DIY instrument for personal use — because sometimes you build something just because you can, and because it sounds interesting.
The Auduino is a granular synthesis engine running on an Arduino. It generates sound by looping short segments of a waveform (grains) and manipulating their frequency, decay and synchronisation in real time via potentiometers.
This build adds MIDI input to the original Auduino design, so the synth can be played from any MIDI keyboard, sequencer or controller. Including, of course, HackPad.
- Arduino-based granular synthesis — raw, lo-fi, unpredictable
- MIDI input — play from any MIDI controller or sequencer
- 5 potentiometers — control grain frequency, sync, decay in real time
- Handmade personal build — built for fun and experimentation
- Based on the Notes and Volts Auduino Synth MIDI design
