I like that you walk through coding acronyms and general rules. People who know this stuff can watch it at 2x speed or seek through, but for me it's really helpful without a degree in this stuff. Thanks, cheers.
There's no need to ground the potentiometer. By doing so you have a permanent draw across it of 100k. Loosing some of your current across it. Without it you'd get a flat current curve instead of a exponential curve.
I really want to learn how to make synths with microcontrollers. I was wondering if you know about the glitch storm and how it was made and how i could learn to make something like that? Thanks for your time.
Never heard of the Glitch Storm until now, but I looked it up and it's all open source, right? Glancing through the Arduino code on GitHub, it looks well-commented, and perhaps possible to break down. I believe the fundamental idea here is the same as what I'm doing (1-bit music), but done much better!

I'm struggling a bit with the statement that 1.5 Hz is far below of what we can hear. I know humans usually can only hear noises between 20Hz - 20.000Hz. But of course I can hear a speaker or piezo doing a "cracksound" every 666 ms. Propably that's because here we generate square waves and no sine waves.
Good question. When we hear a "pop" of a piezo at 1.5 Hz, we're not hearing a frequency of 1.5 Hz, we're technically hearing the harmonics. If a sine wave were at 1.5 Hz, we wouldn't hear it because it's just the fundamental. More here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W_34vn4Zo0s.html
@@SimonHutchinson Thank you, now theory and practice came together :-) I basically knew the things you explain and show about signals and harmonics in your other video in theory. But I never transfered it from what you you know and als can see on an oscilliscope to what you are hearing at audio signals. Thinking about it its quite obvious. Hearing a sound every second doesnt make it a 1 Hz sound.
