This. This is the video I've been hunting for ages as a DIYer. Visual, auditory, intuitive but detailed. Perfect bridge between understanding the guts and just populating a board.

How have I missed this? I've been looking up DIY VCO's for ages, yet this never popped up??? It's brilliant, but I'm also 8 years late. Never mind. The technique's the same, but this is so brilliantly explained. Thank you!!!

Great stuff!! Exactly what I was looking for. Looking forward to the next part. Wonderful work. Thank you! Rolf

This could be some of the most educational content on electronics I've ever seen! Love the format, love the depth of knowledge, love the show and tell.

Cheers! That's a very nice video. Really looking forward to see the upcoming parts!

Love this series, please keep it up! Can't wait for the next episode. Just started looking for simple approach to building something like a Baby 10.

you reminded me why I love electronics so much, thanks for exploring these musical systems with all of us in such a great way!

Don't you dare ever stop making these videos. This is amazing.

Thank you for taking the time to share these series! please keep them coming !!! super helpful for newbies getting into circuitry. Love the format as well

great instructional video! perfect balance between theory and demonstrations. looking forward to part two

This made my day! Incredibly useful, comprehensive enough, and still very simple to follow. Thanks for explaining in some detail how the hex schmitt circuit works, it's amazing!

Thank you for all of these tutorials I'm learning so much.

Crystal clear man!! Thank you for your generosity and your effort 🙏

wow ... Blown away so glad i found you been looking for this basic explanation. Really looking forward to more of these .Hope you plan to do more fantastic stuff .. Thanks!!

Loved this one please make more of this kind of informational videos would really appreciate it :D

this is the best rescourse I have found on synth building so far! great mix of theory and practical. thanks for the info!

Brilliant tutorial on synth DIY. I don't know much about electronics, but the tiny bit I do know was enough to follow this quite easily, and I do feel inspired to try making my own synth one day as the basic workings of one is so easy.

Can't wait for following parts. Yesterday I finished my first oscilator from 4093 and I'm really excited about the whole DIY analog synth thing. Thank you for explaining everything this well, I've learnt so much from this video.

Great work, I suddenly understand so much more. Thanks a lot

Probably the best entry point tutorial for all synth DIY noobs !! thank you for this . :)

Best explanation of oscillator sync I’ve heard. Super helpful. Im trying to build my own synth it’s been a dream of mine for a while. You are going to help me make it happen!

Absolutely BEST online DIY synth experiments!! great explanation, details with extensive materials lists and resources! You and Look-Mum . . . . ;) Rock!!

the best laymen explanation about how an oscillator works...i finnally managed to actually get what the components are doeing...tnx :)

Been following your work for a while now - our dronelabs get a lot of use to this day. keep it up!

Great video! I'm very interested in beginning to make DIY synths, so I've now subscribed to your channel.

very simple, intuitive and sounds mind blowing kkkk... very hard to find nice beginners material on diy synths, thank you!, im anxious waiting for more !

I have been looking for exactly this type of video for a month or so now. I have wanted to build my own analog synths that take MIDI input and send audio back to my DAW and this is a perfect start. Thanks!

hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen

Man I wish this happened when you were still in Troy! You've really streamlined your modules in the last few years.

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I think I might be your 15,000th subscriber. Watched the video, saw that you had 14.9K, Subscribed, reloaded, 15K. Congrats!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for making this video. The oscillator sync trick to make the subharmonic series is great. I’m going to use that in this duduk inspired synth im working on

Great tutorial! Don't miss the crazy melon-synth-sequencer mayhem at the end!

You are our signal man! BIG thank you from Slovakia. I have no words.. This tutorial is perfect! I am new to electronics and i was like i could never do something as this. I was allways afride of " bugs " electronic parts that have more than 2 legs :D But thanks to info from you ill get how it works. Looking up for new videos and wish you all best!!!

dude wtf .... ive been waiting for someone creative enough to help me understand electronics at a waveform sound level. i never connected the dots. been wanting to build my own guitar pedals. ans now i want to build a synth sampler with some who knows weirdness..... thanks keep it up

25 Years in synthesis and I think today I finally understand HOW the VCO is oscillating and WHY that produces sound. Theres always something more to learn underneath. Thanks Peter!

Awesome content, very instructionnal and still entertaining though... Great performance at the end! :D

best series on yt

Thank you, These videos really kept me going when I was having a hard time getting things to work. These tutorials helped me understand the logic chips necessary to build a 16 step voltage sequencer; something I thought would always remain unobtainable! Most recently I've been having fun modelling hihats using the CD40106. Four closely tuned Square waves at a relatively high frequency does a good job. Drum machine here I come!

I giggled every time you said "Ok, let me bring my keyboard" and you slapped that piece of paper with pencil drawn keys on screen. :D Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial ! It's working like a charm :)

I really respect the passion you have...Even I wanted to make something just like this but I dont have proper knowledge...

Dude. It's like you broke into my lab while I was sleeping and shot the video I was putting together. Great job. I'm using a 74HC14 hex-schmitt since I have several on hand for building MIDI-Out and MIDI-Thu circuits. I'll go back to making my lowpass filter build video and met up with you on the flip side. Cheers!

+Meta Micro Ha! looking forward to seeing your video! Everyones got a different approach and there's always more to learn :) Would LOVE to see a simple LPF vid. Filters are almost obligatory for these square wave oscillators.

This is the exact kind of thing I've been looking for

this is a fantistic resource very accessable too keep it up sir!

Thank you for the lesson. Really great stuff here.

This guy is a friggin genius.

This is perfect! Will share through STEIM accounts next week!

This is a fantastic lesson. Thank you!

This sort of video is incredibly helpful !

Very well done video. Informative and entertaining 👌

Damn, this is just the best guide I found. I have a question, how can you be so cool?

Odličan video! Hvala!

Great demo and explanations. The step oscillator you describe at 17:00 was first described (as far as I know) as "Sound Synthesizer" in Engineer's Notebook: Integrated Circuit Applications (1980) by Forrest Mims III, implemented with a 556 (a dual 555). I like your design with a hex inverter better because you can make 3 with one chip and less discretes (caps and resistors).

Awesome have made some of your circuits they are great!

I'm definitely going to part 2 now. Jimmy Hendrix and Walter/Wendy Carlos would love this, not to mention Yorgy Legetti. Thanks.

@@bubagoo Cool, you replied!!!! Most youtube folks seem to ignore the comments, that's cool that you acknowledged my comment, thanks! I actually found a cool kit and bought 24 of them for my students, at around $4 each. Tech Will Save Us DIY Synth kit, which has everything except the battery- even the speaker! It uses a 556, and one of the circuits is basically the Atari Punk. Ive been building variations of the 40106 synth that you show in your video. There are so many little variations I can do with LDRs and pots, I still have not made it past that. One day I will get to the sequencer and sampler- I have all the parts, but I am still really engaged by building the 40106 oscillator over and over again.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Appreciated.

Hi! I've folowed this video for about 7:30 then I've started to experimenting (already did seen this all but not sure I remember all) It was a surprise: - if I change a resistance of one Schmitt trigger (1-2) then 2nd (3-4) is kind of syncing to the 1st. I've made a simple mixer with one resistor (from pin 2) then it meets the triangle wave from pin 3 and these are mixing with a cool "notchy" wave. - if pin 3 goes to the "meeting point" through a resistor then the wave is completely other! It makes FM on the square wave. Very interesting sound also! I've replaced the R for 2nd schm.osc. to a LDR - it's gives cool performance :) It sounds like RM! One important detail: I have a powerful bycicle headlight for this and... the character of the modulation also depends on it's force! I don't know why... maybe because this headlight gives a "blinking light" (controlled by PWM?), not constant.

I am so excited, my woman just bought me a mini lab!

Super, continuez ! Explications simples avec un petit schéma pour bien comprendre... S'il n'y avait que des tutoriels comme le votre, KZread serait un paradis (Ça fait des jours que je cherche et les bons contenus sont noyés aux milieu des divertissements Bull shit populaires)

Thanks for showing how to properly use an schmitt trigger oscillator. Beside the CD40106, you could try also using an CD74HC14.

OMG i love it ! :)

Thank you so much for your videos! They are a major inspiration and a guiding light to me, I really can't thank you enough. I was wondering, how does the Schmidt Trigger compare in sound quality to a 555 or 556 oscillator design? Also, I would be very grateful and happy if you could point me in the direction of a video with the same clarity as yours, but explaining how to build voltage controlled filters and amplifiers. Regardless, I want to thank you for your videos, they're all clear, concise and easy to understand.

This is great thanks!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Love your channel

Super cool.

~ 4:00 - I got thrown off because it sounds like you're saying "microfarads" (μF) but you're writing (nF) which are nanofarads. I really appreciate you making this video for us. Thank you.

Whouah! so pedagogic. really cool vid. Greetings from France :)

Very nice video! Thank you so much! I have been wondering if I could use the output as an LFO for other devices (Microbrute, for example) or if this means that I would have to to adjust the output voltage in order to make it work? I guess i could then change the IC for a 8038 one and have access to different waveshapes, or?
