In this video I describe an expressive synthesizer I'm working on called the Wiggler. Here's what we cover:
0:00 - Intro Jam
0:26 - What are Expressive Synthesizers?
1:02 - Wiggler Overview
2:07 - Daisy Seed
2:25 - Flexure enables motion
3:09 - Hall Effect Sensor measures motion

@@sound.workshop Looks like you could have a hard time using the wiggle by only touching the capacitive sensor. That's why you added the hot glue wedges I assume. If you want to make it as a product I would consider making the wiggle with as little resistance as possible and then allow configuring some artificial resistance in maybe with some clamps or something.

Amazing work ! Probably the best DIY synth I've seen in a long time, the essential is there, a great instrument doesn't need more features. I would love to see the programming in detail in a future video, and I would buy this for sure as a DIY kit, or a finished product with this form factor.

this is rad. it’s reassuring to know there are good ppl preserving the awesome potential of music via science and engineering! hoping more young artists’ promote stuff like this. nothing cooler than being able to share literally building an instrument. no plugin or software subscription model will ever be able to rival how cool it is to be able to say you built that sound. dood, thx for making this. solder on!

Thanks! Ondes is a big inspiration. Part of my motivation here was to make a “minimum viable expressive synth” so that more people can get that feeling of their hand melting into the synth

Were you thinking Trautonium for the vertical modulation?@@sound.workshop
@sound.workshop
@sound.workshop 2 месяца назад
​@@TheMagebear Trautonium was in my head somewhere but I was more inspired by trying to make the simplest possible thing that captures the joy of LinnStrument. The two things I wanted to keep were some sort of force = emphasis, and wiggle for vibrato. I've come to realize how amazing Trautonium is only recently.

This is a really cool controller - I absolutely love the keyboard - as a cellist, this fits perfectly in my sensibilities. One thing I'd love to see with this would be to be able to include the modulation for attack into the vertical movement of the controller as well - perhaps some way that you can have it be controlled only by the knob or to turn it up so that as you use the controller to open the filter, it can also shorten the attack by a dialed in amount (similar to how the filter cutoff works already) - this could allow you to have both expressive, softer playing as well as more aggressive attacks accessible only through the keys, which will lead to a much wider space for performance and emotive playing. Just a thought! Seems like a really cool concept also to explore for a more generalized MIDI controller! Slapping a standard keyboard layout and possibly giving an octave or two more range without needing to hit an octave button could make this a powerful expressive controller for a wide variety of sample instruments and synths. I know that opens up the development requirements quite a bit, but it'd be a cool dream!
@sound.workshop

I agree with you it would be nice if there was some way to use pressure or velocity to modulate the pluck intensity or make the pluck speed. It’s on my mind. Hard to think of a clean way to do it on the front panel

So the magnet sensor also acts as your fsr?? I need to read more into this. This is amazing! I always wondered why electromagnetism wasn’t implemented in fsr sensors, or resistant sensors
@sound.workshop
@sound.workshop Год назад
@@flywittzbeats4008 yes that’s one way to think of it. I would describe it this way: the magnet/Hall effect sensor pair is a position sensor, it measures the position of the flexure. The flexure has stiffness, which means I need to apply some force to travel some distance. So therefore in some sense I can estimate how much force the user is applying if I know the stiffness of the flexure

Thanks! I actually filmed it 3 times. The video was too long until I realized my target audience is the daisy seed crowd, then I was able to cut out a lot of fat and assume a certain amount of familiarity by the viewer. On the third day of filming I rolled the camera for about 50 minutes to get these 10 minutes of good takes
