Use of Teensy 4.0

Opened this issue · 4 comments

Hi there. Nice design! Is there anything you know of, that would not let it successfully run on Teensy 4.0? I'm looking forward to the second iteration of this project, although i think it is very good already! Keep up a good work. Cheers.

Not enough pins for a Teensy 4.0 to accomodate the pots and switches, if you added shift registers for the switches and buttons and a 16 channel input mux for the pots then its possible

Shame really, but thanks for pointing out. As you said, it can be worked around. Anyway. Wanted to bring to your attention this great project, which could (and should) be developed into fully fledged hardware synthesizer. Hinting to your @craigyjp experience in developing hardware control interfaces. 😉

It runs on variety of hardware, including esp32 and even rpi pico! Just look at the synth specs! Cheers.

@smutax If you haven't seen it yet I already have made this in to a available hardware synth! 😁

This python code by AMY developer might provide a starting point. It implements midi callback and assignments to a certain midi controller keyboard. All the very best.
