viyndr is a single oscillator melody generator with digital delay. The melody is created by multiplying the base frequency by varying factors up to 20, essentially reproducing the overtone series up until the 21st harmonic. The circuit is heavily inspired by the Lunetta 4051 melody generator, with the main difference being that the Lunetta circuit is dividing a clock signal whereas viyndr multiplies it. Three control rate oscillators in an OR logic gate configuration determine pitch changes, VCA envelope triggers and LED patterns. Lastly, the digital delay gives a hocket-esque sense of harmonic depth.
