This project uses 16 analog fader potentiometers to create custom waveforms that are then used as the basis for synthesizer audio. Sine, square, triangle, saw, banana...any shape you can 'draw' will be re-created on the fly.
The Faderwave is based on the Hardware Reverse Oscilloscope 2 project by Mitxela a synth designed to hand build single-cycle waveforms. In CircuitPython synthio we can generate arbitrary single-cycle waveforms, so this seems like a great mashup!
The Faderwave was designed to ingest USB MIDI notes and turn them into polyphonic wavetable synth audio, however you could turn this platform into a MIDI fader box, sequencer, sample player, CV box, or who knows what else!
