Can you make a mutable instrument Shruthi 1?

If you have no intention of wielding a soldering iron, Mutable Instruments will occasionally hand-assemble a batch of Shruthi 1 synths with gorgeously different case and display colours]

What are the parts of a Shruthi microcontroller?

This opens in a new window. The Shruthi contains two section: a digital section (“control board” or “digital board”), containing the display, main microcontroller, switches and pots ; and an analog section (“filter board”) hosting the VCF, VCA, input mixer and the output stage.

The Shruthi contains two section: a digital section (“control board” or “digital board”), containing the display, main microcontroller, switches and pots ; and an analog section (“filter board”) hosting the VCF, VCA, input mixer and the output stage. Several variants of the filter board are available to provide a broad range of sounds.

How much does it cost to make a Shruthi 1?

The second board is all analogue, containing a voltage-controlled filter and amplifier, and the ability to treat external audio. Up to four Shruthi 1 synths can be cascaded for four-note polyphony. The cost is an amazingly low €140, the only catch being that you have to assemble the two circuit boards yourself.

Which is the best mutable instrument on the market?

One device that does fit the bill is the Mutable Instruments Shruthi 1, a hybrid monophonic desktop synth module that seems to offer the best of both analogue and digital worlds.

Do you need an oscilloscope for Shruthi 1?

The Shruthi 1 probably won’t suit the purists who insist on examining every waveform with an oscilloscope, but if you use your ears and like some character in your sounds, it’s very hard to beat at the price.
