Noise

This a digital noise generator with multiple tone controlling options. It also supports MIDI.

It's quite hard to make noise with analog circuits in a system running at 3.3V. That's why we're using a Microcontroller (ATtiny1616) to generate noise.

Inputs

  1. MIDI MIDI input to control the noise generator
  2. NC Not connected
  3. NC Not connected
  4. TX Debug pin for the microcontroller
  5. UPDI Programming pin for the microcontroller

Outputs

  1. MIDI MIDI THRU (passthrough) output
  2. WHITE White noise output
  3. WHITE White noise output
  4. BLUE Blue noise output
  5. PINK Pink noise output

Controls

  • TONE: Controls the tone by changing the sampling rate of the noise. Left is higher sampling rate, right is lower.
  • BLUE TONE: RC Highpass Filter for the blue noise.
  • PINK TONE: RC Lowpass Filter for the pink noise.

MIDI

  • CC 74: Adds to the TONE control value.
