Gijs posted details for building his "Hardware" Software Synthesizer 2 project using Arduino compatible parts. His prototype combines all components onto a standalone board but it appears this could easily be adapted to a standard Arduino. Altogether, it's a whole lot of functionality with a relatively low part count. Features include -
6-bit resistor DAC
7 selectable synths
2 X 32 steps sequencer
Bit reduction
Amplitude modulation + Bit reduction
Delay (repeatedly sample and loop) + Bit reduction
Quite sweet - I'll definitely be building one of these asap.
