My Arduino board was being used for a demonstration at work, but it enabled me to get a lot of use out of it and work bought me a couple of bits that I wanted to play with, notably a network interface and a Mifare reader module.
Anyways, its back to being used for what I want to do things with, notably robot building. However, this time I am being distracted by a different use, which is sound generation - or should I say Noise generation.
I have had my imagination sparked by the prospect of using the Arduino plus some knowledge I have gained from my ham stuff to generate a synth. It's been done before, but not by a lot of people.
There seem to be a couple of routes to go down - This page documents the different ones. The main ones seem to be this:
- Use the Arduino to control a synth or other noise making source.
- Use the Arduino *as* the synth.
I've not yet completly decided which route I'm going down, I know that the sounds generated by the first method might be... better, but I have an aweful lot to learn about generating noises...
