@@Z-Ack MIDI sends out only note data and parameters values, to put it simply, but no actual audio data. The keyboard you see here is a MIDI controller without any ability to generate audio. It does have a bunch of knobs and sliders which send parameter update messages over MIDI to whichever device is listening. Typically you'd send this data to either a computer running audio software, or a hardware synthesizer. In this case, that hardware synthesizer which listens for "play the note A4 with 80/127 velocity" and various parameters, is contained entirely within the MIDI plug. So the full actual synthesizer is super small, and powered entirely from the small electrical signals that are meant only for data (not power).
@@MICHhimself Right, to simplify, midi out is streamed midi just sends the BPM/timing and instrument events and parameters(including pitch, so micro-tonal is possible) for something else to do something with. No actual audio is sent, that is all assembled by the synth at the end. Well, mostly, instrument wave tables can by synced with patches, but that's a different story entirely. It's not an insignificant task what that little dongle is doing. Midi is a really simple standard, but the devil is in the details.
The great Science-Fiction author Arthur C. Clarke once said "Any sufficently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". This device proves that he was right.
I should start an anti-USB club or something. These "legacy" connectors are a lot easier to poke around in a DIY environment, unlike modern stuff, so I don't want too see them go away.
I had to reflow the pins to a Mini-USB port on a Blue Snowball iCE mic today, as an inexperienced solderer, and without a hot air gun. I'm gonna agree with you on this one
If you do, PLEASE make I2C or USART or SPI be the new communication method so that I can use my Teensy 3.5 with it to make my own portable MIDI sequencer. Millennial musicians need to be healed from broken backs and slanderings like "Self-entitled computer basement babies" by going outside to perform their talents publicly!
Hama Geddon I agree. Ensoniq didn’t consider their hearing aid technology a synthesizer either. The people that designed algorithms to smooth topographical data points, probably had no idea that it would be applied to audio in the form of Autotune. Changing the form and function and scale of known technology is very interesting IMO.
Optimisation-wise, there's some really neat stuff you can do using the STM32's DMA controller, like load a whole wavetable into a circular buffer and just let the DMA controller send it to the DAC - zero CPU cycles needed.
@@andrewnibbi ST has an overview under "AN3126: Audio and waveform generation using the DAC", and there's a good write-up called "The DAC and its DMA buddy" on the Jeelabs blog. Also check out dac-dma.c in the libopencm3-examples repository on GitHub. (I'd give links but they tend to upset TH-cam's spam detector)
As far as I can tell this would limit the synth to a single oscillator, however most STM32s are fast enough for doing it in software to not have too much of an impact. Best case you’d only be using a single multiply-add per oscillator just to sum the values from the wavetable.
@samgentle I'm currently working on such a synth on STM32F401 and a PCM5102 dac. The DMA for the audio works with circular dubble buffer and I've also got a DMA setup for analog inputs. I'm doing more wave stuf at the moment, but at a certain point I will release everything to the public in some way (GIT hub or Thingiverse)
I cannot wait to see your code optimization tricks. However, the GCC compiler generates pretty good ARM assembler code. Mostly more clever than I would do write assembly.
@@gabrielhogan9670 130€ Jesus. I know that this is an ok price if you factor in the time it took them to make this, but I don't think anyone is gonna pay that much for something so small and gimmicky. Especially when the Microcontroller at the heart of it only costs about 10€.
I've been looking at synthesizers for months now trying to find the perfect one for me. I really shouldn't have bought this and stuck with something different, but life is about taking risks anyway! I can not wait to get this thing and try it out.....
You produce some of the most interesting projects on TH-cam. It is always great and inspiring content. Looking forward to see what you come up with next, I am sure it's awesome.
Amazing! You could plug eight of these into the MIDI outs on a Yamaha QX-1 and replicate the monster Yamaha TX-816 rack that was eight DX-7 synth engines, but with double the polyphony!
Exceptional project, especially the attention given to power consumption. I have mikmod running on an STM32 which allows it to render Amiga MOD files. There is something fun about deeply embedded audio synthesis where the audio framework is the output register of the DAC. Well done!
On tantalum, the stripe is the opposite polarity, compared to electrolytics? Well, that explains a lot. I wish I knew that before attempting to repair my 48-port gigabit switch. It's off to silicon heaven.
This is so cool! I am working on making an ATtiny85 based MIDI wavetable synth. So far the specs are looking to be a least 4 voices at 6bits amplitude and 62ksps. The massive limitation was the lack of hardware multiplier for amplitude control, but I managed to get that part down to 39 cycles if I limited it to 6bits, which is all I need anyways since the 4 channels share one PWM output. It will be opensource and I'll make sure to e-mail the the link to the repo to mitxela as soon as I'm done, just in case he would find it interesting.
Brilliant! Reminds me of playing with my dad's VCS3 as a young lad. My favourite was using the ring modulator. Subscribed and will investigate this further. Lovely work.
Oh, you're on TH-cam? Your article on the RN-42 and how to use it in a wireless gamepad helped me pass my wireless build exam back in 2016. I'm a Journeyman now, and the gamepad I made with your info is still one of my favourite things I made. Thank you!
You just earned a subscriber. I originally watched your stylophone business card and thought it was very neat. Then recently I rediscovered your channel and binge watched all your wacky creations keep up the great work
My first guess was just an audio jack connected directly to the MIDI pins, no IC'S, no resistors to limit volume, just what was required to turn the digital signals into "analog" sound (would sound like dial-up/cassette data or higher frequency)
Magnificent integration. I have no musical inclination and the closest I got to MIDI was thinking of making a Midi to player piano interface as a project with a friend. I think if you get it to market before some copycat outfit you could have a successful niche product. A Kickstarter or Indigogo campaign could even pay for any missing software development and required custom machining. I wish you all success with your project. I like your MIDI music box too, very educational.
I come back to this video occasionally just to hear the fun sounds. It's a very impressive range of sound considering the limitations. When I write synthesizers from scratch, they barely run on normal computers.

I have a cheap Yamana keyboard synth and it almost exactly sounds like this! Splendid job, looking forward to more projects from you :) (It probably uses a reduced version of FM synthesis chip used in DX7)
They made a whole series of synths that used the YMxxxx / OPxx series chips. They all share a certain sound, the OPP (YM2164) chip was used in a whole "DX" series as well as some Korg models (!). I would bet that you have a DX100, DX21 or other model in that line. Fun fact: Other chips in the same series were sold to Sega and used in arcade cabinets and, most famously the OPN2 (YM2612) was used in the Sega Genesis. The L2 variant was used in soundblaster and adlib sound cards.
superb, and a great vid for explaining synth and FM basics, for people like me who just do not understand FM please someone give this an Angel investment
It's weird how much of that I relate to. I've been doing firmware for flashlights and lightsabers, and run into many of the same challenges. Have even implemented a simplistic synth for those, but it makes light instead of sound. Also, instead of a DIN port, I'm using a custom pogo pin adapter for firmware updates. Gotta keep things waterproof in addition to the other design constraints. Anyway, kind of fun trying to fit everything into tiny spaces.
So I started following synths because I started follow retro gaming, which is closely tied with Synths and Midi. Am I the only one that wants to hear what Monkey Island sounds like this through this synth?
Really exciting! I've heard people question whether this might eventually damage the circuitry in the controller, due to power draw? I have no frame of reference though.
The power supply in a board that size could have 5 mA vampiric draw due to stray capacitance and never notice. The led backlight of that LCD right there will draw several times that whenever it’s on, never mind on full brightness. I mean, nothing is ever impossible, but this is really unlikely to be a valid concern.
the samples when you went full test mode gave me nostalgia, I thought of an xbox original startup when I started typing this. I also heard some moments where it could go in a Call of Duty game, and also the world famous otomotone.
would be nice if you could control some peramiters on the synth itself because unless you have a keyboard with a bunch of assignable knobs, you have no way to control them at all
I1d like very much to look at that code. I am doing a synth for a school project, a lot simpler, but it is nice to see how you dealt with the limitations.
You mentioned making your vsts in this video and I haven't seen much behind the scene production of plugins before. For the longest time I've wanted to just start the process of making my own but always get held up on where to start. I would love to see some vids about you talking about the process :D
Genius bit of miniaturisation- but I, can't help think that whatever you'r going to use to control and play it with would have more room spare to not have it's size limitations. If it could be included inside every bit of midi playing hardware as standard a bit like Yamaha OPL2 was with computers , that would be cool.
