J²B Synthesizer
An open-minded digital music platform
This project was born after I discovered the Atmegatron music synthesizer from Soulsby Synthesizers [1]. This synthesizer is built around an ATmega328 8-bit AVR microcontroller from Atmel, the same that is at the heart of the Arduino Uno board.

Components
The BOM (Bill of Materials) is the technically exhaustive listing of parts and other hardware items used to produce the working and tested prototype of any Elektor Labs project. The BOM file contains deeper information than the Component List published for the same project in Elektor Magazine. If required the BOM gets updated directly by our lab engineers. As a reader, you can download the list here.
