it's rather interesting watching this video as an electronic engineering student. the video is mostly about introduction and tutorials for electronic side, but as an engineering guy I'm actually more interested in what is a music synthesiser haha!
Yea I feel you. It was designed for our first year students in the art academy. You might want to check our livestreams for more advanced sound design stuff. Check the latest videos and livestreams.
Thanks, followed the tutorial and got it working. Once challenge, if you use the Audio shield, you need 2 extra lines: in top section AudioControlSGTL5000 nxpDAC; in setup section nxpDAC.enable(); and nxpDAC.volume(0.4);
Great work guys. Really well presented, with excellent pace for beginners. Having an expert / novice combination really works. Best of luck with the series!
Nice vid, awesome there's gonna be more. About your jack socket here, you just had to push it in a bit harder. These "Thonkiconn" jacks work great with breadboards in my experience (the green ones are stereo)
That's coming! Funny you've mentioned the Seed. We're working with it at the moment to see how it could be integrated into students work. We'll definitely make some workshops soon. Join Discord if you wanna help shape the content and suggest topics!
This was alot of fun to make! Really enjoyed your video. Thank you! The link to the extra code doesnt seem to work any longer. is there an updated link?
Thanks for watching! It's a bit old, and tbh I'm not sure where the code is. Maybe join our Discord server if you wanna follow up? Link is on the website synthux.academy. Just click the "join the community" button.
All Teensy MCUs are programmed in a similar way. If you're doing audio you might need to add the audio shield if there is no built in one (Teensy 4.1 does not have one, while 3.6 has), and then check the PJRC (Teensy) site for the pins occupied by the shield.
Cool, but it starts at 38:10, we don't need a beginners Arduino class. Why did you pick the 3.6? The 4.0 is cheaper and much more powerful. You want the Teensy Audio add-on anyway, as the single 12-bit out of the 3.6 is a bit simple for a synth.
Thanks for this. Happy to clarify :) first, this is a workshop for our 1st/2nd year students, so going through the absolute basics is essential. Second, this is quite an old video, hence the Teensy 3.6 (it's actually not available anymore). In our newer workshops we are using the Daisy Seed. And third, 12bit is great for synthesis. Many synths and eurorack modules have the 3.2 in them and I don't hear anyone complaining. 12bit has a unique character. Dismissing 12bit is like dismissing cassette tape - sure it's not super high fidelity, but it has its charm and place in music composition and production. Nevertheless, I hope you've learned something from the video.
@@lovemadeinjapan I'm in the Netherlands, and getting the Daisy here regularly. Our community buys them directly from us when we run courses and workshops. Check the website synthux.academy/simple and join the mailing list. Daisy is much easier to get than you think and it's more suited for synthesis than Teensy. Don't get me wrong, Teensy was my go to platform for years, and Paul's work inspired many of my classes, but at the moment the Daisy is more effective and their community support is unbeatable.
yes, that's a good introduction but a complete workshop certainly not, what about connecting multiple devices to the teensy with multiplexers, using rotating coders, connecting oled screen, and the midi ?
Yea, the topics you refer to are really valuable! We're working on a complete course. This is just one workshop. All the topics you refer to can easily take a whole semester to cover properly depending on the level of the student.
10:50 How is that random info, if it tells you what went wrong? This is random info: i8ynw3iecyexohtruheniry398r7cxnyeiw838x.........Not the bottom part your pointing out.

@@SynthuxAcademy sure i always want to learn more about music! thanks for the videos!
Very good content, thank you very much.
Programming a step sequencer with calculations for bpm, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 notes is a thing I am interested in ;)
We were just talking about this on our Discord server. Join us there? There's a free open source code for it.
Thanks, followed the tutorial and got it working. Once challenge, if you use the Audio shield, you need 2 extra lines:

Super cool! 😃
Thanks, Victoria!
Thank you, guys. This was great.
Great work guys. Really well presented, with excellent pace for beginners. Having an expert / novice combination really works. Best of luck with the series!
Cheers!
🔥🔥🔥 I need a clock divider! I Will try with teensy, do more videos like this🦄🚀
Cheers! Clock dividers are on the list. They're not even using the audio library, but simply Arduino functions.
Nice vid, awesome there's gonna be more. About your jack socket here, you just had to push it in a bit harder. These "Thonkiconn" jacks work great with breadboards in my experience (the green ones are stereo)
Thanks for the tip! Will try. Happy you liked it. It was fun to make!
awesome!
1:05:17 Dude accidentally recreated the iconic Godspeed You! Black Emperor drone
lekker mannen. This was really fun
I love you guys!
❤️
really nice :)
Cheers man! Happy you liked it
1:40 Essentially in the end that is exactly what it DOES.....Measuring in "numbers" of Ohms...
I’d love to see a series a bit more advanced for already programmers with something like a daisy seed
That's coming! Funny you've mentioned the Seed. We're working with it at the moment to see how it could be integrated into students work. We'll definitely make some workshops soon. Join Discord if you wanna help shape the content and suggest topics!
@@SynthuxAcademy awesome I’ll check it out !
Could you not use a sigmoid function to convert the analog signal to a between 0 and 1?

This was great. Can the Teensy process incoming audio natively?
Yes! But you might wanna consider the Electrosmith Daisy Seed for more heavy lifting.
1:05:18 was when I fell in love
I have a Teensy 4.1. How would that differ from 3.6 (Edit: sorry I made a mistake with the versions) ?
All Teensy MCUs are programmed in a similar way. If you're doing audio you might need to add the audio shield if there is no built in one (Teensy 4.1 does not have one, while 3.6 has), and then check the PJRC (Teensy) site for the pins occupied by the shield.
👍
I like to try make my first synth, but the link with the code desn´t exist!
Yes, sorry. This is a very old tutorial. Try our Daisy Seed tutorials perhaps? All these are on our Github.
They are both chips "I see", "yes IC"
😂
Could you revise your code link?
Sorry, I don't have it anymore. This is an old tutorial and we're now focused on the Daisy Seed. Can't find that old folder.
I want to know how to make a synth that doesnt need to be connected to a computer...
The synth circuit we show in the video doesn't require a computer to play. We use the computer only to program it.
Cool, but it starts at 38:10, we don't need a beginners Arduino class.
Why did you pick the 3.6? The 4.0 is cheaper and much more powerful. You want the Teensy Audio add-on anyway, as the single 12-bit out of the 3.6 is a bit simple for a synth.

@@SynthuxAcademy I love 12 bit sound. I even want to make a 12 bit computer one day on a FPGA. Integers that go 0-4095. Yay!
@@SynthuxAcademy The Daisy Seed looks cool indeed, but it is hard to get her in the EU. I can always bit-limit on the Teensy 4 to achieve 12 bit.
