Fluxamasynth Shield v.3
This is an updated version of the 64 voice polyphony synth shield for Arduino. Note that previous versions of the shield used the SAM2195 chip from Dream Sound Synthesis; since they discontinued that product we updated the Fluxamasynth to use the SAM2695. Version 3 of the shield has a few more parts but has much better filtering and a neat microphone input. We also added an optional 5-pin DIN jack and MIDI-spec circuit for MIDI Thru (see variants). The Fluxamasynth is a programmable synthesizer in an Arduino-friendly shield form factor. When I first showed it to Paul his reaction was “you’ve got an embarrassment of riches there.” and he’s right. The SAM2695 was intended for battery powered keyboards or portable Karaoke machines, but I’m sure you can use and abuse the Fluxamasynth in all sorts of new and interesting ways. Here are a few suggestions: Make your own MIDI instrument with unconventional analog sensors Create algorithmic compositions Use it in a homebrew pinball machine t
