build a synth with many oscillators

[urbanspaceman]

Hello everyone, I am a novice when it comes to electronics, I have already built a synthesizer and other things from kits with pcb layouts.

I would now like to build a particular synth that generate drone sounds with frequencies medium / low.

My idea is to have many oscillators (8 / 10) and have them play together, perhaps modulated with 8 / 10 LFOs (one per oscillator) you could give me some advice?

I do not need to be modular with external connections.
my idea was like this


Tnx

I'd say test your ideas out with a softsynth first, perhaps. I always try to prototype in software before going to hardware.

what software do you recommend?
I also micromodular .. but are not very good at using it ..

looking for schemes (pcb) ready to be used as the basis

Oh, I don't know soft synths. I use a soft synth that I wrote myself in the ChucK programming language. You can have as many oscillators as you want on that synth. Oh, perhaps a good one to try is the Nord G2 demo. That would be much more professional. You can google it or ask on the appropriate forum here, I don't have the link. Good luck.

check out this article from Synapse May/June 77, about building a four voice digital drone instrument.:

Could possibly be a good start point.

good luck

Yes, or you could maybe look at building a Dual Weird Sound Generator. That makes great drones and is an easy project.
