great stuff, this is really inspiring, i'll go through all your documentation as i'm wanting to build a teensy based drum machine for my thesis. you absolutely knocked it out of the park with your work
I'm stoked about this, for sure. Inspiration from op-1, organelle and others in a great presentation so far. Name ideas: OP-2 Teensy Freq Teensy Key Synthy
WOOOO ! what a nice surprise I had watching the video thanks 💪🏼, I'm very happy with your progress ! It is a beautiful synthesizer, quite versatile, portable and with a beautiful sound. Congratulations friend ! made me want to have a joystick on mine haha 😄👌 Cheers
Wow, I’ve built a very very similar device recently, and I swear I didn’t see this one first (it’s better anyway!). Mines a mechanical keyboard, but I ended up using the Teensy 4.1, the same OLED, exact same crystal red switches, similar white keycaps, and even squeezing the OLED between keys. I’m just amazed we’ve built such similar devices, but I’m sure you’ve run into similar issues that influenced your decisions. The animation looks great too!
Thanks! You'll have to build it yourself! Look out for the build video coming up, and if you're into it, you can find all the files/links in the description :)
That is incredible man. I read your dev logs. I come from a small town and sell quality electronics and rent out test gear here in nova Scotia and if you had a pcb left id make it worth your while. More than worth your while. If youre interested drop me an email. Ive got some quality meters and id let one go as appreciation for the board (which id pay the post). I have a hectic life as of late and dont have the time to design such an elaborate pcb. Im probably the most honest person in the world and im not the type to hoard gear as i usually send free electronics learning kits to random people in canada or the us. No pressure, great job brother. I have everything from extra ul certified meters to rc aftermarket parts and kits along with everything in between.
damn this is lookin and sound good! but i think you should go with rgb illuminated rotary encoders. and maybe u can use regular low profile cherry switch caps. Your project looks more than a op-1 clone so it doesnt need to look like an op-1 go with geeky desing!
🤯 This is wild! 👏👏👏👏 Just completed Notes & Volts' Teensy MIDI series in order to build my own laser projector controller. But you've taken it to another level of excellence. Love your graphics on the multifunctional color display screen. I had no idea that Teensy could support everything you've got going on. I've already selected similar RGB LED backlit pushbutton rotary encoders, similar to yours. But, can only find circular neopixel LEDs from Adafruit (intended for eyeware 🙄 ) Are you planning to add a MIDI interface with a DAW?
Wow man. Slick. Ive been wondering what to do with a 4.1 ive upgraded the flash on. Id love to make a vocoder to go into my effects loop on my line 6 or a midi interface for recording basic drum tracks (i can then go into and tweak depending on the time signatures i play in) and adding some synth to the music i record.
I'd love to that would be awesome! I'm not sure how though lol. The project is on github, is there something else I can do to allow people to work on it?
@@prajwalmahesh90 some people have skills with industrial design for to look and feel of the product, personally I can be helpful on the user interface side, lots of possibilities
This is very interesting, keep developing it man, one thing I can suggest although I'm not sure if its possible or not is a scale lock or scale quantizer function
First of all, GREAT PROGRESS. Now after watching it, I have some feedback. 1. The controls could be simplified. For example on the ADSR page you can only adjust one parameter at the time. I think it might be better to have the four encoder mapped to all four parameters. Maybe you could switch pages or tabs using some of the other buttons instead of the encoders. 2. Same for the oscillator section...One encoder per oscillator, clicking the encoder could change between Amplitude & Oscillator type. Of course in this case that would leave one encoder free, maybe for another oscillator (or white noise).
Thanks dude! Unfortunately, I'm probably not gonna be selling these anytime soon, but you can build it yourself! Check out the Github and the build video if you're interested.
In this hardware version, how do you indicate the sequencer steps/beats that are either playing or having notes assigned? I imagine a line or matrix of neopixels would be good for this but maybe there's something else built in eg the oled.
I was planning to just use the oled. I just figured there was a lot more flexibility that way (i.e. showing different layouts or different types of sequencers) rather than using something fixed in hardware. Also, this way, I can save some space on the board and make the whole thing a bit smaller
Unfortunately I won't be selling it, but it is an open source project and you can find everything you need to build it yourself in the Github page. I'm planning to publish an actual how-to video and instructable once I get everything working right. Thanks for your interest though!
Teenage Engineering: "write this down, WRITE THIS DOWN!"
Teenage engineering: we need to up the price of our synth by a few hundred dollars because of the expansive screen.
This guy: I built this for $125
Here after seeing the OP1 "Field" debut for $2,000. Still relevant
they are capitalist scam artists
Wow, just found this because of the LMN 3. SO inspiring to see these two project! Just amazing work going on here! So stoked to see where this goes.
great stuff, this is really inspiring, i'll go through all your documentation as i'm wanting to build a teensy based drum machine for my thesis. you absolutely knocked it out of the park with your work
what a piece of art, I dream of getting where u got one day !
I have an OP1 and I want to throw it in ocean after seeing this project. Amazing work. Thank you.
You deserve much more views ! Very good project, will follow your work :)
I'm stoked about this, for sure. Inspiration from op-1, organelle and others in a great presentation so far.
Name ideas:
OP-2
Teensy Freq
Teensy Key
Synthy
Yooo these are sweet! Thanks for the name ideas- I might have to take one of these!

This is awesome. The waveform drawer was especially to me
Wow ... just discover the wolrd of teensy, mindblowing project

@@prajwalmahesh90 awesome! I can’t wait
Wow what a great project. Just randomly found this video. Everything looks so good! Impressive job.
wow, such an ambitious teensy project! awesome!
YAY! You're back!
Dude you're a genius!
Looks like a box of chiclets. Lovely!
I’m a little late but I will build one of these. Thank you for making this open source.
Wow, must...build...one. AMAZING work.
This is neat. Would love to see a build video.

Love this project man. Keep it up! And keep showing us!!

I hadn't heard of RGB encoders before- looks like they'll make a really cool addition! I gotta try them out next time. Thanks for the tip!
I love it!
you can call this synth "ULTRASYNTH" because V2 reminded me of ultrakill and this is a synth
🤯 This is wild! 👏👏👏👏

Are you planning to add a MIDI interface with a DAW?
Would love see more.
And you hopefully will! Still working on updates!
Are you using the Teensy Audio Library? , this looks great!, good luck
Yep, just with a few minor modifications!

Put people aboard! We could all provide our skills!

Prajwal, you are cool as hell, come have some whiskey in kansas when you come kick it here
haha thanks my dude
This is very interesting, keep developing it man, one thing I can suggest although I'm not sure if its possible or not is a scale lock or scale quantizer function
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into that, it definitely seems doable.
If you manage to integrate midi I/O, for me this will be a better alternative to the op-1
Should be possible through the Tensy's USB port! I'll try that out
@Prajwal What was the approximate build cost of the unit ?
First of all, GREAT PROGRESS. Now after watching it, I have some feedback.
1. The controls could be simplified. For example on the ADSR page you can only adjust one parameter at the time. I think it might be better to have the four encoder mapped to all four parameters. Maybe you could switch pages or tabs using some of the other buttons instead of the encoders.
2. Same for the oscillator section...One encoder per oscillator, clicking the encoder could change between Amplitude & Oscillator type. Of course in this case that would leave one encoder free, maybe for another oscillator (or white noise).
PS: the idea of drawing the waveform is really good! Could be used to draw in automation for sequences as well.
Thanks for the suggestions! Totally agree that using all the encoders when possible would probably be simpler/more efficient for a user.
@@prajwalmahesh90 Looking forward to the next update !
Man you should take a look into the daisy platform also Im curious if you are releasing the hardware details
interesting stuff!
nice 😊👍
brother is great I am interested in having one there is a possibility of sale is great
Thanks dude! Unfortunately, I'm probably not gonna be selling these anytime soon, but you can build it yourself! Check out the Github and the build video if you're interested.
@@prajwalmahesh90 I understand bro I appreciate your answer and I will review the information to be able to do it
TAKE MY MONEY
In this hardware version, how do you indicate the sequencer steps/beats that are either playing or having notes assigned? I imagine a line or matrix of neopixels would be good for this but maybe there's something else built in eg the oled.
I was planning to just use the oled. I just figured there was a lot more flexibility that way (i.e. showing different layouts or different types of sequencers) rather than using something fixed in hardware. Also, this way, I can save some space on the board and make the whole thing a bit smaller
Any Midi?
Pretty Awsome I’d like to purchase ☝🏼when I get my 3stimulus check or next good tattoo payment 🤗🤗🤗😉how much$ 🤔

Hit me up if u need help designing a case for this pretty synth and selling some. Im a product designer!
Thanks! no plans to sell it yet, but I'll let you know if I ever do

Boss we need 5 pin din input (minimum). In,out, thru would be ideal.
