![]() ![]() An ultra-affordable homage to that iconic synthesizer, with all the features of the original and then some, the Behringer POLY D lets you conjure up virtually any monophonic or polyphonic sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The 1970s spawned the first truly portable analog synthesizer, and while it was quickly adopted by lots of renowned musical artists including Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Rick Wakeman, Jean-Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita and Keith Emerson to name a few, it was somewhat temperamental and very expensive. Word soon spread about how good his products were, and he began building gear for his friends – the Behringer legacy had begun. Later, while attending college to seek a degree in audio engineering, Uli put his electronics knowledge to use, building his own equalizers and signal processors to fill the gap left by the university's inability to provide enough proper studio gear. So, at the age of 17, Behringer built his first synthesizer – the UB-1. His father was a scientist who built a massive organ in the family home and taught the young lad all about electronics. Born in the small town of Baden, Switzerland in 1961, Uli grew up in a musical family where his mother taught him to play the piano at the tender age of four. matsekberg has updated the project titled Electronics for my RV.Our founder, Uli Behringer has a deep passion for keyboards.Lutetium has updated details to Open-Source AR Hack Chat.Lutetium has updated the event titled Open-Source AR Hack Chat.Andy Piper liked Slow-ish Movie Player.kelvinA has added Leti to Teti and Tetent.Klima has added a new log for Fully analog digitally controlled voltage source. ![]() kelvinA has added a new log for Tetent.Frank on New Drug Has Potential As Dirty Bomb Antidote.Dan Maloney on New Drug Has Potential As Dirty Bomb Antidote.Grawp on Bankruptcy Sale Scatters Virgin Orbit To The Winds.bubba on 3D Model Subscriptions Are Coming, But Who’s Buying?.Karlotta Harrumphed on Hackaday Prize 2023: Hearing Sirens When Drivers Can’t.Norman on Smart Pants Sound Alarm When Your Fly Is Undone.Dan on Hackaday Prize 2023: Hearing Sirens When Drivers Can’t.David on 3D Model Subscriptions Are Coming, But Who’s Buying?.In the meantime, take a look at this mess of wires and this article on a slew of open-source synthesizers. has created a great synth that combines benefits of both analog and digital synths together and the result is an inexpensive modular synth that can create some really cool sounds. The keyboard buttons are converted to a control voltage which can be sent to any of the modules to create a melody. The Teensy scans up to eight module sockets and for each module that it finds, it reads the potentiometer value as well as the status of the I/O jacks. In polyphonic mode, the software creates digital copies of each module to allow the playing of chords. Software that wrote runs on the Teensy and allows the digital synthesizer to run in either monophonic or polyphonic modes. The main board contains a Teensy 3.6 and a Teensy Audio Adapter creates the audio for the synth. Each module can be connected to others using audio cables, the same way modular analog synths are connected. The modules are connected to sockets on the main board and are held in place with thumbscrews so that the modules can be easily switched out. Each module is a series of potentiometers and I/O jacks with a wooden faceplate. The synth is built with a toy keyboard with each key having a tactile switch underneath it, contained inside a wooden case upcycled from a bookshelf found on the street. Each module (LFO, Envelope Generator, Amplifier, etc.) are connected with audio cables to others and the result is processed digitally to create music. ![]() ’s entry in the Hackaday Prize is Polymod, a modular digital synthesizer which combines the modularity of an analog synth with the power of a digital synth. ![]()
