Not everyone can afford a much desired Moog analog synthesizer. For those that would like that analog experience and are prepared to go the DIY route, the parts can often set back a maker many hundreds of dollars or pounds. Which is why this new project from pappas.chris caught our budget conscious eye. Imagine being able to create a 6-voice virtual analog hardware synthesizer starting at just $23 for the microcontroller board of the Nucleo Synth.
The STM32F7 microcontroller is at the center of this 6-voice virtual analog synthesizer. All you need on the hardware side if the STM32F7 Nucleo-144 board, one stereo audio jack, and a USB-OTG to USB-A adapter.
This synthesizer should be fairly straightforward to program too.
Here's a demo of the synth in action from the creator of Nucleo:
Nucleo Synthesizer Features
- 6-voices of polyphony.
- Dual oscillator per voice.
- VCA (with ADSR) per voice.
- VCF (4-pole lowpass with ADSR) per voice.

- Waveform select saw/saw, saw/square, or square/square.
- Oscillator mix.
- De-tune.
- Separate LFO for Modulation and PWM.
- Scale for upper oscillators.
- PW/PWM on the square wave.
- Separate adjustable keyboard follow for ENV and VCF.
- Keyboard velocity routable to VCA and VCF.
