This is an introduction into simple synthesizer concepts and how MIDI can be used to develop a software synthesizer with different oscillators, envelopes and arpeggiators. It is meant to give an overview of modular analog synthesizer designs and make familiar with the names and abbreviations often seen on analog synth equipment. In future this project will evolve to a small portable USB MIDI synth. Check out the first dev video and the nightshift live streams if you are interested in the uncut development process:
