MeeBlip - Hackable Digital Synth

MeeBlip is a hackable digital synth, developed by Peter Kirn (CDM Blog) and James Grahame, made for "accessible sound and hands-on control."

Here is what they had to say:

“It can be someone’s first synth. It can be a unique-sounding addition to your music setup, playable with MIDI hardware and software. It can be a synth you open up and modify, learning about sound creation, code, and electronics. Or it can be the basis of new projects and ideas.”

Use it as-is, or use the source code to remap controls or completely redefine the instrument’s architecture.

The instrument is designed by James Grahame, synthesist, aficionado of things both digital and retro, and engineer at Reflex Audio, in collaboration with Create Digital Music.

The MeeBlip is built to be a community synth: the MeeBlip will be supported by Create Digital Music and the Noisepages community to help get you started with ideas for how to use, play, and modify it.
