CCAM Earth is a reprogammable desktop synthesizer built on the Daisy Seed microcontroller. It features:

  • 2 CV outs
  • 2 CV Ins
  • Gate Out
  • Gate In
  • Stereo Audio In
  • Stereo Audio Out
  • 8 momentary Buttons
  • 8 LEDS

I designed the PCB and layout of this synthesizer for CCAM's Futurhythmachines: Chicago House programming in Spring 2024. With Juan Flores, I wrote three firmwares that allowed for groups to devise their own Chicago House music performances.

In January of 2026, I will teach a course at ESS where students will develop their own firmware in MaxMSP's Gen~ program.
