First thoughts: This is a project I wanted to make for a long time, thanks to my girlfriend who bought me a little book about Mathematics and music which I have in the car and kept reading constantly… Only recently I have gathered enough knowledge, information and time to accomplish some complex wood work projects. I decided to try to make my first DIY Harmonograph, a Victorian invention from 1844 that draws be

The Atari is limited in that it cannot produce many pitches that are in tune and it only has two oscillators. However, the Synthcart is programmed with useable scales and intelligent voice
CEREBEL-USB: USB to MIDI converter In one my quests for the ultimate electronic LIVE set rig, I decided to attempt the impossible!! xD… Now, seriously, this project is one of the most interesting, simple yet difficult that t I´ve ever encountered. Because life is hard, but full of beauties… Feeling inspired today… :) Like many of you, I´ve been bombarded in the last few years with inexpensive DJ, st
