Here's a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's been the biggest and most challenging project I've worked on. It's an analog modular synthesizer. A modular synthesizer is the most powerful tool for creating sound. There are a total of 31 knobs and 49 jacks which gives you power to control essentially every aspect of sound, for example, pitch, volume, and harmonics.
It includes:
2x Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO)
1x Voltage Controlled Low-Pass Filter (VCF)
2x Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA)
1x Low Fequency Oscillator (LFO)
2x Envelope Generators (EG)
1x Mixer
I found the schematics online and sourced the components and hand soldered each one on perf board. I wish I logged the hours I put into this because it's definitely an absurd amount, much more than I ever spent on a portable console probably. I 3D printed the knobs and used a label maker for all the labels. The filter doesn't have labels because I used the label maker at my school but I just graduated and don't have access to it anymore
. It's been a fun project to build and I learned so much more about reading schematics and electronics. Some of the circuits I constructed were 2 pages of schematics! I will definitely be making another one in the future.
