Can You Make a Lo-Fi DIY Synth for $1 #MusicMonday
Can you make a synth for $1? What if it’s radically lo-fi, wildly pared down, and as simple as a synth can be? Moby Pixel takes up the $1 synch challenge, using a 555 timer module. Here’s more from Moby Pixel:
In this video, we’re building the cheapest and easiest synth ever using a 555 Timer module! It’s raw, lo-fi, and as you’ll see, not everything went according to plan. If you are familiar with the Atari Punk Console synth, this is a stripped down version. From breadboarding the circuit to hacking the built-in trim pots, we’ll explore how to turn this simple chip into a tiny synth. Along the way, we’ll deal with torn traces, questionable soldering, and some happy accidents. If you’re into DIY electronics, synths, or just making weird sounds then this one’s for you!
