CCAM Estuary is a reprogammable eurorack synthesizer module built on the Daisy Patch SM microcontroller. It features:
- 4 CV outs
- 2 CV Ins
- 2 Gate Outs
- 2 Gate Ins
- Stereo Audio In
- Stereo Audio Out
- 8 Potentiometers
- 8 LEDs
- 2 3-way switches
I designed the PCB and layout of this synthesizer for CCAM's Estuary Group electronic music collective in Fall 2024.
The group led a workshop at Hairpin Arts Center in March of 2025 with firmware designed by Garnett Grimm. Garnet and Bonnie designed this fantastic zine describing the firmware they wrote for that workshop.
I revised the design of the modules, wrote new firmware, added a 4-channel stereo mixer module for a set of workshops and activations in 2026 and 2027:
- April 2026 // Indiana University Bloomington, Eskenazi Museum of Art, Bloomington, Indiana
- November 2026 // Public Space One (PS1), Iowa City, Iowa
- January 2027 // Graduate Design Studio @ Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa
I created a zine for this new system which you can access here.
