Banana Split is a two-part project consisting of:

1. A FM Synthesizer VST/AU plug-in, developed in JUCE and C++
2. A custom-built MIDI controller, using Arduino and Makey Makey with conductive gummies

The synthesizer is an FM-based virtual instrument built using the JUCE framework and C++. Its features include:

1. One oscillator with selectable waveforms: Sine, Saw, Triangle, and Square
2. Gain control for the oscillator
3. ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)
4. Built-in audio effects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Distortion

The MIDI controller was built using Arduino and Makey Makey, allowing for a playful and tactile interaction using conductive candies.

• Arduino MEGA
• Protoboard
• 12 push buttons
• Jumpers or cables
• USB Cable
• 6 pots
• Makey Makey
• 6 conductive objects (gummies)
• Arduino IDE
• Hairless MIDI

The Arduino sends MIDI messages via serial using Hairless MIDI, enabling real-time control of the synthesizer parameters.
