Project Details:

• Started as a "clone" of the Alpha Juno 2, but is now expanded with extra features: 97 Wavetables, 551 PCM Samples, DW8000 and Virus Waveforms, Delay Effect, Retro Glider Effect, Mono Mode with Auto Glide. and more.

• Near Zero Latency, No OS, no Linux, just bare metal coding. Usually < 1ms latency

• Complete set of source files if you want to change anything; otherwise, use the pre-compiled binary files instead. Programming the Pico 2 is easy, just hold the Boot button while plugging the USB-C cable into a computer. It shows the boot folder, drag-and-drop the binary file, and it's done.

• Cheap to build yourself, just two Pico 2 boards, two DACs, and two SD Cards
• For the interface: Two I2C 16x2 LCDs, 3 Encoders, 3 Buttons, and 3 Knobs​
• You can customize the parameters that the 3 Knobs will handle​
• Regular MIDI Input
• No PCB required
• Check the BOM (Bill of Materials) List on the right, to see all it takes to create your own version. There's also a video at the bottom of this page
• STL Case Files for your 3D Printer
• Option to get Arduino IDE ready source files to make your own changes, or use the ready binaries

Synth Engine:

• 7 Voices

• 3 OSCs: one Saw/Pulse with PWM LFO, one multi Saw/Pulse OSC (multi waveform), and one Sub OSC with multiple waveforms to select. OSCs are over-sampled but anti-aliasing sound.

• OSC 1 and 2 now have the DW8000 and Virus waveforms (plus the Alpha Juno 2 waveforms)

• Noise generator with tune option, as noise is a long sample sound

• PCM Samples with a 551 selection of sounds

• New Multi-Mode Filter: Low 12 to 36db, Band and High Pass 12 and 24db, plus Peak 12 and 24db
• Two envelopes: AMP and Pitch/Filter Env2
• 3 LFOs: PWM, Pitch, and Filter With Sync to BPM Option
• Chord Maker (3 selectable notes per voice with fine tune)
• Analog Drift options
• MIDI Learn for every parameter​
• Master Volume and MIDI Channel (Omni ~ Ch 16)
• Stereo Chorus
• Delay with Feedback Filter, and sync to BPM option
• Be sure to request new features, as I'm always improving the engine. Also, the engine can be switched to other projects that I will be working on. Allowing different synths to use the same hardware
