Mozard is a miniature, open-source digital synthesizer based on the Mozzi audio library and an Arduino Nano (ATmega328p) board.
Features :
- 12 capacitive touch pads (one full octave)
- 6 different sound algorithms
- MIDI input support
- Octave control via potentiometer
- Volume control via potentiometer
- Built-in arpeggiator
- Decay and arpeggiator speed control
The Mozard changes behavior when the arpeggiator is deactivated or activated. When in arpeggiator mode, the LED on the Arduino blinks in sync with the arpeggiator interval.
The circuit and Bill Of Materials can be found in the extras/circuit folder.
