2019 / PONTH - Portable Synth

An endless variety of melodies and beats is right at your fingertips—just connect it to your power bank or any 5-volt power supply. A whole range of features is at your disposal: program 16 steps individually, control the tempo, adjust the number of steps playing, and modify the sound with filters. The only limit is your imagination.

I am fascinated by how electronics and a bit of code can create music. I wanted to create something that offers a wide range of possibilities, allowing everyone to craft unique melodies and beats. If you want even more customisation, you can connect it to a computer to modify or upload new code.

A 16 step sequencer, which means that there are 16 notes playing in a loop. By pressing a combination of the buttons and turning potentiometers, you can individually change the pitch, duration as well as the rest and ties of the notes. You can also reverse the pattern, change tempo, determine how many steps are playing and alter the sound by adding filters.
