I am trying to choose a board for my next synth. For the first one (https://hackaday.io/project/163160-chromatic-button-synth) I just used one of the DAC channels on the 3.6. It is just doing simple wave form synthesis. When I play more then 3 or 4 notes at the same time things get pretty crunchy and distorted.
For V2 (see chasis here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UojEQzD4vJLHp2LP6) I have added a 3 axis joystick so I can play around with some FM synthesis. I would also like to get up to 8 note polyphony.
Im curious for my application if I could get by with the PT8211 audio kit or should I splurge for audio shield? With the new Teensy 4.0 boards has there been any improvements to the onboard DAC that for a simple application like mine would make the additional components unnecessary?
thanks!
