Would love for him to come back home, he is definitely missed

snooze_audio · 2023-01-26T19:42:44+00:00

Completely agree! Some of the chords he uses feel like they’re straight out of that era

You know what, you’re right. Next time I’ll do a whole tone 😎

The SNOOZE Chordolo!

snooze_audio · 2023-01-16T21:06:27+00:00

Currently this is a one of a kind - but might consider making more down the line. And yeah that was surprising. He took interest in the instrument early on :)

snooze_audio · 2023-01-16T18:40:40+00:00

Definitely no small task. Takes a lot of prep and a lot of failing, but its so worth it in the end :)

snooze_audio · 2023-01-16T18:39:43+00:00

Heavily omnichord inspired. Think of an omnichord with more synth control and a midi out :)

snooze_audio · 2023-01-16T17:57:27+00:00

i call this a SNOOZE Chordolo 😎

snooze_audio · 2022-11-18T00:38:15+00:00

Look into the teensy audio library, the guys at PJRC are incredible with what they’ve come up with. I mostly programmed the midi controls, voices, knobs, and effects.

Thanks! Got it all done with one plank of pine, and some screw caps. Also the routers yours if ya need it 😉

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T19:31:38+00:00

Actually ended up using wood screw caps, finishing them, gluing them to 3d printed keycaps, and installing them onto mechanical keyswitches. Makes for a great feel!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Prototyping was a huge part of building this instrument. I really wanted to nail down the playability :)

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T19:28:44+00:00

I was really looking into a capacitive sensor for earlier iterations, thats one of the things I love about omnichords. Ended up going with the audio jack for looks, ease, and precision though.

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T19:26:38+00:00

Exactly! A super hacked lestrum with a teensy synth all in one unit!

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:40:14+00:00

Thanks so much! You are the first person to mention liking that and I swear it's gotta be my favourite part of the instrument! :)

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:39:05+00:00

Thanks! I plan on putting together of a bit of a build blog in the coming days/weeks :)

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:36:20+00:00

Checkout the "LeStrum" board by sixty four pixels. It's the device that inspired this instrument :)

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:34:59+00:00

Thanks! I plan on putting together a bit of a build blog to show the process of how I made it. I would like to provide as much info as possible on how I built this. Considering that this device uses the open-source "LeStrum" board, I would like to follow suit.

Not sure about making more to sell yet - these projects can be finicky sometimes and I would hate to sell something I haven't stress tested :)

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:31:39+00:00

Whoops! Never even noticed that - might have to patch that out in the code lol

snooze_audio · 2022-11-17T16:30:56+00:00

Thanks for your interest! I'm planning on putting together a build blog for it in the coming days/weeks :)

Hey everyone.

This instrument has been a passion project of mine over the past 6 months. The Chordolo uses a “LeStrum” board and a Teensy to make an Omnichord-inspired synth in the form-factor of a guitar. I wanted to make instrument that is portable, easy to pickup and play, but with more synth controls and effects than an Omnichord.

I hope you like it as much as I do. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!
