electronics project

[prof. Antonio Guerrieri]

>Hello,
>
>As an electronics teacher, I will direct a completion project for
>engineering students (9th to 13th of June).
>
>The project consists in building a modular synthesizer. Every student will
>have to design and build a module. There will be 16 students...
>
>I predesigned some modules :
>
>- Triangle VCO (based on 4053, LM311 and TL084) : low cost and good linearity
>- VCF (two pole, SEM like based on LM13700 and a TL084)
>- Dual VCA (LM13700 and TL084)
>- Dual ADSR (4052, 4001 and two LM324)
>- Noise Generator
>- LFO
>- LFVCO
>
>I designed a 4086 thermo controlled based exp generator that will be used
>with the VCO and VCF.
>
>I plan to add a left hand controller that will consist in a Force Sensing
>Resistor (FSR) and 3 push buttons. The 3 push-buttons will binary encode
>8 presets of 3 (or more) voltages, the FSR will control the transient speed.
>This device will be used to control a set of 3 bandpass VCF to synthesize
>vocal sounds for example (CSound simulation prooved that it can work).
>
>Last but not least, I ordered a MIDI2CV8 kit to Chris Crosskey that will
>arrive
>soon. This kit will allow us to control the beast.
>
>I thank Chris for bringing PAiA technology to Europe.
>
>Kind regards,

Dear  Thierry Rochebois,

I think that such an experience can be very useful for your students.
I hope, also, to continue to know any new about this project in the future.
Best regards,
Antonio Guerrieri
