Projects:Modular synthesizer

A modular synthesizer is a musical instrument that creates sound by combining various specialized modules together (see Wikipedia for more info).

At HSN, we're creating our own modular synth by designing and/or building these modules ourselves. We usually work on (and play with) the synth on Synth and Stompbox Night.

List of finished modules

• VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
• VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter)
• VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier)
• Envelope generator
• Step sequencer with 8 steps
• PLL (Phase Locked Loop)
• Mixer
• Divider
• Mult
• NAND gates
• XOR gates
• ...

• LFO
• VCA
• JOVE multimode filter
• Transistor ladder filter
• ADSR
• Oscilloscope
• Erica synths output
• Spring reverb
