The Arduino Pocket Piano is assembled and ready ..

[Jay Vaughan]

Well, it was a lovely beer-laden night at the MetaLab here in Stormy  
Vienna last night, so what better to do than build a super little  
digital synthesis platform for avid hacking?

Here is the result:

Sounds really great .. and the code is a wonder to learn from!  This  
is, folks, a 60-euro Chameleon ..

We've got really basic FM and sine-waves happening now, even a little  
arpeggiator, and with 12k left to spare, tonights hacking session will  
consist primarily of wavetable conversion and stuffing to see if we  
can get a rythmn-box/drum machine sequencer app built for it as well.   
If anyone has any decent wavetables (Paul M, do you?) already in 8- 
bit, 255-byte buffer format, please consider sending them my way ..  
and filter designs suitable for the ATmega16 would be an interesting  
next topic too, considering ..
