ESP32 DRUM SYNTH MACHINE

This is my DRUM SYNTH LOFI MACHINE.

Synth engine:

• Wavetable synthesizer based on DZL Arduino library "The Synth"
• 16 sound polyphony
• Sound parameters: Table, Length, Envelope, Pitch, Modulation, + Volume, Pan and Filter.
• Filter (LowPassFilter) comes from Mozzi Library

SEQUENCER:

• 16 step/pattern editor and random generators (pattern, sound parameters and notes)

Hardware:

• Lolin S2 Mini (ESP32 S2)
• PCM5102A I2s dac
• 24 push buttons (8x3)
• Rotary encoder
• OLED display I2c
• 32 LED WS2812B

Software:

IDE: Arduino 1.8.19 Arduino 2.3.2
