Audio Raster Machine

A more technically involved project. I had been learning some basic electronics and synthesizer building and wanted to put an idea into practice. I was thinking about how photo cells worked in a simple electronic set up called a 'vactrol'.

A vactrol allows the presence of light, or lack there of, to control the voltage of an electronic circuit. Kind of like a potentiometer but via light instead of turning a knob.

The video explains my full process. Give it look!

This is from spring 2022. Inspired by Dogbotic Labs Synth Building Workshop. (check them out!!)

Thanks in huge part to Japhy Riddle for being a sounding board for my idea and helping me bring it to life.
