Pick a challenge below

#01 // EASY

Monophonic synth

Design a monophonic synth with 2 oscillators, filter, envelope and saturation. Use up to 12 knobs, 3 switches, 4 jack sockets and 7 touch pads.

Bonus

Add a built in effect (flanger, delay, reverb etc.)and use only 3 additional knobs.

#02 // ADVANCED

A glorious effects box

Design a stereo effects box with a resonating filter, distortion and delay. Use up to 7 knobs, 3 switches, 4 jack sockets and 2 touch pads.

Bonus

Use the knobs as macro-controllers!

#03 // PRO

A radio looper

Design a 3 channel sampler with radio input. User could live sample into any of the channels, adjust sample length, start position, loop on/off and pitch. Use up to 17 knobs, 4 switches, 4 jack sockets and 3 touch pads.

Bonus

Use only 12 knobs.

Simple kit
explained in 3 steps

01.
Modular interface

How does your ideal interface look like? The Simple board is modular. You can place knobs, switches and jack sockets anywhere you like. Create the perfect interface for your instrument in minutes!

02.
Work with any microcontroller

The socket for the microcontroller has 48 pins. You can connect a Teensy 4.1, a Daisy Seed, an Arduino Nano or any other microcontroller you wish (in this tiny format).

03.
Designed for efficient synth prototyping

Each component requires just a single wire to work. Simply place your potentiometer, switch or jack in one of the 80 sockets and use the patch bay to connect it to your microcontroller.

04.
Bonus!

We said 3 steps, but just one more thing.

Simple is powered through USB, which is awesome! But, if you wanna add an additional analog circuit to it, you can. There's a little perfboard to help you patch external circuits. With a little bit of creativity you could even make it Eurorack compatible!

PS. The copper pads inside the logo are actually connected to VCC and GND, so you can literally patch into the logo!
Simple is a community effort. Here are some official Simple instruments currently in development:
