AMYboard

AMYboard is an inexpensive fully complete DIY music synthesizer board that can be used inside your own music projects or as a standalone Eurorack compatible 10HP module. 

AMYboard is powered by AMY, a powerful toolkit for making any kind of music that supports virtual analog (Juno 6), FM (DX7), samples, wavetables, and more. With AMY, you can set up your patches using our online editor, or by writing code (in Python, C, or Arduino).

AMYboard comes with 10 3.5mm jacks installed that support stereo audio (in and out), two CV channels (in and out), MIDI (in and out), and stereo SP/DIF digital audio (in and out). The analog channels can be set to 1vpp (line) or 10vpp (modular) via DIP switches. There's a microSD card for sample and program storage.

You can attach peripherals to AMYboard, like knobs or OLED displays, using the front panel I2C connector. See our page for some suggested setups!

When AMYboard is connected to a computer via USB, it appears as both a MIDI device and a serial device for transferring patches, files and code, logging in interactively for a MicroPython prompt, or for MIDI control from a DAW.

We ship AMYboard with a simple acrylic front cover for installation into Eurorack modular synthesizer setups. Feel free to make your own, we have example CAD files for 3d printers and laser cutters. 

AMYboard can be directly connected to a Tulip via an I2C connection. You can control the AMYboard from Tulip for extra synthesizer polyphony.

AMYboard is an open-source project and supported by a community on Discord and Github. We plan to provide regular firmware upgrades, which are installed from the web editor when connected to an AMYboard.
