About the Project

This modular synthesizer is designed with longevity and customization in mind. It is possible to replace parts and build your own preferred set up. The prototype above showcases three modules, a drum pad, knobs and slider for effect changes and volume, and a sensor to simulate a thermin.

Modules

  • Drum Pad Module: Touch-sensitive pads for rhythm creation
  • Control Module: Knobs and sliders for effect changes and volume control
  • Sensor Module: Distance sensor to simulate a thermin effect

Design Philosophy

The Hexasong synthesizer emphasizes modularity and user customization, allowing musicians to create their own unique setups by mixing and matching different modules according to their creative needs.
