Showcased Project Arduino Ambient Synth with Mozzi modal scale generative pad

Working on this ambient synth with arduino and mozzi library

Signal chain is: 4 unsynced slow clocks with different phases -> random pick from a 6-note modal scale + random octave -> mtof -> sine oscillator -> simple AR envelope -> sum to mono -> short 3ms comb for thickening.

Pots:

A0 = root / transpose

A1 = detune amount for beating between voices

A2 = humanize attack/release time

A3 = clock speed

Can you share the sketch and block diagram? I'm also very interested in making a synth but am limited by my working device (android)

This is beautifully done. Dumb question, is that still resonator on left the speaker and microphone?

I would love to build this too. I have 8x 10k potentiometers and Arduino... Anything else?

8 pots and a basic filter for the output a 4.7 k resistor and a 100nf cap tho its still very noisy , next step will be putting a fillter to take the hiss out , the mozzi its kinda noisiy ill upload the full build to githun , just today updated the build with some wavw smoothing and a button to change scales all based around brian enos work
