I'm Interested in a Cheap Yellow Synth!
Glad to hear it. It's not a thing yet, but if you fill out this form I'll tell you if and when it's available.
If you've suddenly landed here and have no clue what's going on, Hi. I'm Ian, I love lit...

Since I've had a small but existing interest in my little yellow synth I've made a form and repurposed my discord server for anyone interested in following the project/maybe one day buying it in kit form or otherwise.

It's just better.

As well as video updates when there's anything substantial to show, I'll be rambling in Discord about Cheap Yellow Synth updates too.

Well I done a thing. The Cheap Yellow Synth. A CYD with a DAC, some digital oscillators, stereo delay and an LFO for the delay.
Let the feature creep begin!

Tones, Devon, clothes shop up near the top of the high street. Rik Mayal walks in carrying a box for the owner. Noone there except the owner, me, and my partner. As he walks past me he says "you know where you are with Semtex" then goes into the back room with the owner. I leave floating slightly.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Today I'm discussing how algorithmic reverbs work using the popular “Freeverb.” I give details on feedforward/feedback delays and allpass filters, and I include a Max/MSP patch to play with.
Hope it's helpful/interesting to someone!

Version control not actually pushing when you run away from your desk to travel and won't be back for days but the code didn't work anyway so you get to debug by rewriting it without having the actual hardware to test it is the new meta.

Also, did you know that these solder bridges on this DAC are for format and mute? This audio output device COMES HARDWARE MUTED AAAAH
