Hi PJRCers,
I'm working on a synth design on the Teensy 3.6 or 4.0 and could use some advice. Basically trying to emulate the controls on an old analog synth like a Moog Model D, but with an experimental interface for playing. This means a lot of pots and switches, more than the Teensy has input pins for.
What are my options for connecting all these peripheral pots/switches to a Teensy?
Is a multiplexer what I'm looking for?
Do I connect another microcontroller with more IO pins via I2C or something like that?
What are the limitations/benefits to any given approach?
Thanks so much for any advice!
