I've been fiddling about with Arduinos for a couple of years now, but it
only recently occurred to me to use them for synthesis.

Here's a couple of examples:

Square and saw, and an amen break generated by an Atmega328P, passed
through an analogue filter

http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/mp3s/glitchamen.ogg

Amen break cut up and distorted, by "software-defined circuit-bending".

Sketch for a simple FM synth - either needs the baud rate set to 31250
and a MIDI interface fitted, or some software to translate MIDI to
serial

Simple monosynth with analogue-like oscillators

Have fun ;-)
