Ready to get started making your own synthesizer, sampler, or drum machine? Skip the headache of starting from scratch by using this nifty pico_synth_sandbox development board with a built-in hardware abstraction library to stop thinking about the technical mumbo-jumbo and start making music!
Try out one of these cool projects to see what you can do!
Drum Machine
Control analog-style drum sounds using a step sequencer and create funky beats. Render the kick, snare, and hi-hat to your will!
Monophonic Bass
Control two oscillator voices to produce deep, rich sounds. Add a sparkle of arpeggiator in, and you can make the dance floor shake!
Microphone Sampler
Get goofy by recording your own sample with the built-in microphone and playing it back however you want, musical or downright weird!
