Some more messing about with my molecule synth and this time with a monotron too. Loads of fun. But then, what else would it be?
Tag: Molecule synth
Molecule synth was a kickstarter project that I backed. I really like it as a sort of proto modular synth.
New molecule synth stuff

New molecule
Molecule notebook
I do love molecule synth.
A first go at a template for molecule synth
I’ve been meaning to get this sorted out for a while. I started it a few weeks ago and then started having much grander ideas about what to do next with it, but then decided that something was better than nothing so I thought I’d post this picture of what the template will look like before putting a PDF up somewhere.
Setting up the MIDI Molecule
So I’ve connected the UNO R3 into the MIDI element. I’ve downloaded the code, but as I’ve gone to verify it I’ve got problems. This might take a bit longer to sort out than I imagined!
The Next Element: Pure Data Input
Whilst I’d like to see a Pd input into the Molecule Synth I’m not quite sure how that would work in practice. It’s interesting for sure, but what would it do and how?
I’m sure that Travis already has a great idea for both the what and the how. I hope he’ll let us know soon though.

The next elements: Infrared Distance Sensor
I’ve posted about the molecule synth ‘table of elements‘ before. It’s such a great idea with some great molecules / elements to come. But I thought I’d dwell on a few of them just to mention the ones I really am excited about.
I’m not quite sure what the infrared distance sensor will actually do, but I can tell you what I’d like it to do at some point in the future, or indeed when it first arrives.
I’d love to be able to use the infrared to receive an infrared signal from a Nebulophone, or even a Palm OS PDA. The output could be as an LFO or other controller.
I hope it’ll be the first or one of the first to be launched.
MIDI, Arduino and the Molecule Synth
I’ve been thinking about this now and trying to decide how I’d use the MIDI on the molecule synth. It doesn’t really work in the way I’d expected, but nevertheless it’s still quite an interesting feature to play with.
My plan will be to use either Lemur or TouchOSC to control the module over MIDI, but the first choice is what kind of synth to load into the MIDI module?
Mozzi would be an obvious choice, but to start with I think I’ll go with the stuff that’s in the manual.
First ‘patch’ with molecule synth
Starting to try this out with something simple. The analogue into the speaker module controlled by the pressure sensor. Let’s see how it goes.
I don’t know if ‘patch’ is the right word for this though?
