Designed and built a monophonic synthesizer using the MSP 430 microprocessor as part of a laboratory course in electronics, PHYS 319. Utilized knowledge of digital electronics, microcontrollers, and audio synthesis techniques to implement the synthesizer, and created custom firmware for the MSP 430 to generate and manipulate audio signals in real-time. Developed understanding of circuitry, microcontroller programming, and audio synthesis techniques, and their applications. Built a button-based user interface using a breadboard to control the synthesizer. You can find the code for the synthesizer here.
