Collin's Lab: Guitar pedal hacking with Arduino

YouTube Uploaded by makemagazine on Aug 19, 2009

"Instead of chaining multiple guitar effects in search of a new sound, I decided to mod just one. Using an Arduino microcontroller board + digi-pot chip, I was able to add a variable gating effect to a fuzz pedal.

LeafLabs Maple

full details at LeafLabs

Some snips for the archives (be sure to see the link below):
"Maple can be programmed using an Arduino-style, sketch-based programming environment, which is open-source and can be downloaded online at our website. The Cortex-M3 on Maple comes pre-programmed with a boot-loader – allowing users to upload new code onto it using the USB interface (supported directly by the Cortex-M3), without the need for an external hardware programmer. You can also program the microcontroller directly with an external JTAG interface."

"The Leaf Maple is a microcontroller board based on the STM32F103RB microprocessor. The Maple runs at a maximum of 72 MHz, has 39 digital input/output pins, 16 analog inputs, native full speed USB, 3 USARTs (hardware serial ports), integrated SPI/I2C support, a power jack, and a reset button. Maple is programmable over USB via our provided DFU bootloader, no extra hardware required! Users can also program the onboard program flash via external JTAG interface."

Features wavetables.

Gakken SX-150s Available via MAKE

$45.99 via MakerSHED

BTW, the magazine that comes with it is top notch. Amazing images, but... It's in Japanese. Still worth it though.

Description:
"This cool little synth kit is easy to put together, requires no soldering and is easy to hack (see links below). There are no English instructions included (book and kit are in Japanese but beautifully done) but the detailed illustrations are more than enough to easily put this kit together. Check out our blog links below to see our review and hacks. Imported from Japan in partnership with Gakken. 4 AA batteries (not included)

SX-150 pickbuttons

"This right here be a Gakken SX-150 analog synthesizer kit - but ya see, I de-installed that resistive control strip deal … added me some good old-fashioned surplus pickbuttons and a bitty trimpot.

Now all me and the dog ever do is play with this thing … well occasionally he runs off to dig up a bone er somethin'. speakin' a which - where is that dog?"

Circuit Playground with x0xb0x Creator Ladyada

Published on Jan 4, 2013

Intro by Collin Cunningham of Make Magazine. Ladyada comes in with the tutorials. The series is geared towards kids, but of course there's value in it for everyone knew to electronics and DIY. Reminds me of the Alphabots.

"Circuit Playground simplifies electronics reference & calculation so you can have more fun hacking, making, & building your projects! This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad."

Getting to know the Gakken Premium Theremin

Getting to know the Gakken Premium Theremin from make magazine on Vimeo.

"The Gakken Premium Theremin is an affordable and highly playable battery operated theremin instrument. Unlike most theremins, it uses an armband contact instead of a connection to earth ground. It also features -
- coarse and fine controls for both pitch and volume antennae
- master volume
- 1/8" audio output jack
- instrument stand mounting thread

MAKE presents: The Capacitor

YouTube via makemagazine. A look inside one of the parts used to make our synths and sound devices.
The video includes how to make a capacitor.
"Simple yet effective, they come in a dizzying array of forms and materials. Vital to so many circuits for storage, timing, and filtration - the mighty capacitor!
