My stab at an Arduino Synth

hi - sorry for the long absence!

Narbotic: I had already some wavetables in the making, if yours are vastly different I'm interested. Did you have a noise wavetable? I did not do this yet.

For noise I would just use the random function seeded with an analogread from an unused pin
adapted from the ardy reference:

int noisey;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  randomSeed(analogRead(5));
}

void loop(){
  noisey = random(255);
  Serial.println(noisey);
}

I'll post results when I give it a go.

I did not make the R2R board yet. Not enough of suited resistors in the box. Would 1K and 2 series 1K's work or is this too low resistance?

From what I've read those lower values might mess up the audio out levels, depending on what you play it through - amp, headphones, etc. But I may very be totally off-base here - definitely worth a try!

Did I see you with an oscilloscope? Might be easier to see what's happening.

yups - I love my scope! you can use software oscilloscopes with your sound card's input for low frequency investigations - very handy. I've used the SignalScope demo on my mac with good results.
just noticed this windows scope software in another thread -
