Noise Toaster

After seeing the example of the noise toaster I attempt to create a digital version of it. I used the to manual try to replicate the functions but mostly went off the layout and labels on the device.

Its difficult to know I I implemented everything correctly as I don’t have the physical version as a reference, however in the end it does produce sound and is unlike any synthesisers I have available.

I found creating this to be an interesting exercise, mostly in what works and doesn’t in user experience design. Whist in person I can imagine the twisting of pots and flicking switches to be a tactile and satisfying experience that makes the synth feel like a physical instrument, when transferred to the domain of computers it is the opposite. I suppose that’s also why controllers exist.
