A small archive of self–built instruments
VÆTTIR is a multi-voice drone synth driven by chaotic modulation (Lorenz-style attractors, internal patching, unstable detune). Built for long, slowly shifting tones that sit somewhere between harmony and system failure.
A hardware sequencer that exposes its brain as a web interface. The ESP32 creates its own network, and any device connected to it can program patterns, clock, divisions and modulation directly from the browser.
KRONOS is a monophonic drone synthesizer built around the Daisy Seed, combining a stable core tone with internal effects and an arpeggiator. It can stay on a single pitch for a long time, or lock into slow, repetitive patterns that shift with small parameter changes.
A Daisy-based drone synth where each slider controls the gain of a set of three sine waves at slightly offset pitches, centred around a note in a given key.
The magic sits in the summing stage: voices can be simply averaged, or wavefolded by a sine or a triangle. The wavefolding creates rhythmic, almost percussive movement purely from the interaction of the partials.
A small synth focused on percussive clicks and pulses, generated from a PWM core and shaped by a Euclidean sequencer. Instead of traditional drum voices, it works with extremely short transients that become texture, groove or noise depending on density.
The Euclidean engine distributes pulses across the pattern in a generative way, making it very easy to find complex but playable rhythms just by moving a few parameters.
A tiny drum machine built around bytebeat formulas running on an Arduino Nano. Instead of samples or classic drum synthesis, the patterns emerge from bitwise operations and integer math.
The result is a crunchy, digital form of rhythm where changing a single number can completely transform the groove. It’s closer to live–coding on a microcontroller than to a conventional drum synth.
A drum machine built on the same idea as the Euclidean Click Synth, but expanded into a full PWM drum instrument on an ESP platform. It pushes the click engine into denser, more percussive territories.
Short pulses, accents and gaps become the main building blocks of each pattern. The result sits somewhere between glitch drum machine and experimental techno tool.
