Hybrid Polyphonic Synthesizer: NepTune

A senior design project combining analog and digital components to accomplish musical synthesis.

Overview

Synthesizer 1

NepTune is a hybrid polyphonic synthesizer project developed as a senior design effort. It integrates both analog and digital components to produce high-quality musical synthesis with advanced control and tone-shaping capabilities.

Our design explores digital sound modulation interfaced with analog output stages, aiming for rich, expressive tones and user programmability.
