MIDI Wave Sound Generator
Copyright Mike Rainbow 2005 - 2008
This project was featured in the July 2008 issue of Everyday Practical Electronics magazine.
It was an off-shoot of the Easy-Chord which uses the same wave-table sound synthesis circuitry to produce instrument sounds controlled by a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) input.
It can be used with MIDI keyboards, computers or just about any MIDI controller so is suitable for many DIY musical projects.

At the moment there are 18 instrument sounds, the same as on the Easy-Chord.
Nylon Guitar Piano 1
Organ 1
Steel Guitar Piano 2 Organ 2
Electric Guitar Elec.Piano 1 Organ 3
Fuzz Guitar Elec.Piano 2 Strings

I plan to add many more instruments in the future as well as some drum sounds.
Programmed chips and a printed
circuit board are available for this project.
