Tiger Biosynth produced in Dutch Design Week 2014
At this post I’m gonna share a simple bio-synthesizer using the all time favourite CD4093 Integrated Circuits. This circuit is very simple it will take you about less than 10 minutes to solder. I always use this bio-synthesizer as an introduction to electronics, like the workshops series in Lab in a Lab – Age of Wonderland as an example. Bellow you will find the PCB design and layout.

Tardigrade Biosynth PCB and layout design by Marc Dusseiller. Board size 6 x 3.5 cm
The idea in making this simple biosynthesizer started after the Solder Synth Sense Sore Sore Sip workshop. There are many version of this bio-synth and we keep designing new design to make more people interested in electronics. Bellow is a video sample of Kangaroo version I developed in May 2014.
You might give it a try, the sensor area basically response to human touch, humidity, and organic matters. You can also put LDR or other sensor on that area. Have fun!
