avrsynth
is a project aiming to create a MIDI driven, modular 8-bit synthesizer based on AVR microcontroller and KISS rule.
Nobody knows the exact project development roadmap, but here's a short list of features that might be worth implementing:
- Obviously LFO and some envelope generators
- Control over MIDI
- Loading samples through MIDI
- MIDI drumset support
- At least 2 sound polyphony (might likely turn out to be impossible)
- Synthesizer modules' communication and cooperation (to handle more complex MIDI sequences)
- Any other ideas are welcome
The ugly prototype (let's hope it will get its PCB design done eventually):
