MSP430 Launchpad Synth

[gomiboy99]

Hi All,

I know this is outside of the MBHP but I found this interesting link

I spent the vast sum of $8.60 on 2 TI Launchpads and built a couple of these synths. They make fantastic midi metronomes.

I use one in the studio and one with the MBSEQ so my band mates have an audio click to keep them in time.

Really nice - thanks for the link!

The cheapest MSP430x20x1 can be had for €1.35 @ reichelt -

I find it really fantastic, that you can get a programmable device for that!

Although a little digging revealed, that you would need at least the MSP430x20x2 for the MIDI metronome, which provides a serial bus (USI) and costs 2.5€ :-).

Cool!

Bye,

Peter

If I am honest, I just followed the instructions in the post. But these are so cheap it would have been rude not to make use of them.

And I made something useful too.

Nice Boing Boom Tschak samples :)
