Hi folks,
I'm releasing a new DIY project today - The Multiwave Guitar Synth
I've been playing around with the idea of creating other waveshapes then square waves for different sound possibilites. Saw and triangle is alot more challenging to produce out of a guitar signal, at least when doing it in an analog fashion.
The Multiwave is the result of alot of developing time. This is actually my third working design. The first one wasn't tracking that good and the second design needed an expensive chip (but actually had a perfect waveshape). So I finally settled with this version, which doesn't perform the best, but only uses common parts so anyone can build it without spending too much.
I hope you like it. :)

Interesting, but desperately needs a trigger or gate out. Not even the very best VCOs can remain musically interesting for very long if they don't have some sort of envelope shaping or filtering. You have a scoop of very nice ice cream here, but it needs chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry.
OH HO HO HO HO HO..... I've only been looking for a circuit like this for a decade. Ahhhhhhh so awesome!!!!! Thanks so much for the great work! And yes, an envelope controllable 4P filter attached to this would be insane.
freppo, i freakin love it man!!! wow, what a cool sounding gizmo.... i can see it being great with other effects. very sweet.
are you selling boards? or strictly a diy project at this point?
i must admit, i didn't hit the site yet.
i bet this would CRUSH with a bass!!
man, i am all over that vero like a fat kid with ice cream.
other projects came to a crashing halt! ;)
btw, the sentient machine was a huge hit at the last guitar show i did, someone took it home with them. so i guess i better build one of them, too ;)
Woah great presentation! Very impressive.
I've got a 10 knob guitar synth project on the way myself ;)
This really sounds awesome!
Thanks everyone for all the positive comments. :)
I'm glad you like it! I've spent a ton of work on it.
Musikding will offer complete DIY kits soon for anyone interested.
