AVR Synth

Post by gurutzeta » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:36 pm

I have just finished casing my AVR synth. It is a great electronics diy starter project.

Pictures and samples of my unit here:

You can buy the kit with the PCB and components from elby designs:

100% recommended!!!

be sure to check Daniel Krue's mods to the original AVR Synth : http://krue.net/avrsyn/

Pretty cool, reminds me of something out of the 80's. So how much does the kit cost?

There are many options, depending on whether you want the components, the PCB and also the console case. check the prices here:

I only got the PCB and components (with no potentiometers, switches or case) and it added up to around 80 euros (including shipping) IIRC, but that was a while ago...

That doesn't seem like an all too bad price.

I was going to build one of these after finishing the ASM-2, but never got around to it. A single-chip digital synth would be the perfect next project after a component-clad analogue modular!
