There comes a time where debugging your code requires more than Serial.print();

While it might not seem like it today, there was a time in the not-too-distant past where Motorola was the processor manufacturer. They made chips for everything, but the most popular was arguably the 68000 or 68k. It’s still has a considerable following today, largely among retrocomputing enthusiasts or those maintaining legacy hardware. For those wanting to dip their toes into this world, ……

Epic Teensy-Based Synth
Prajwal Mahesh created a beautiful portable DAW inspired by Teenage Engineering’s OP-1.

Prajwal Mahesh is a big fan of Teenage Engineering, and especially their OP-1 digital audio workstation (DAW). This awesome device comes with a synthesizer, sampler sequencer and a four-track recorder in a mini-keyboard format in a fantastic style. The only problem is that they cost around $1,300, too much for Mahesh to reasonably justify.

Teenage Engineering also has a line of Pocket Operator products, which are lower priced, much smaller, and more limited. Mahesh’s idea was to create something in-between the two capabilities-wise. While he wouldn’t have been the first person to think he could make a commercial product at a lower price with similar capabilities, his goal project goal was quite realistic:

I know it’ll be impossible to completely replicate the OP-1 at a cheaper price and at this point it’s pretty ridiculous for me to think I can even achieve the performance of a Pocket Operator, but hey, this whole thing is a learning opportunity.
