TubeOhm - Jeannie (Polyphonic Synth)
Jeannie is an brandnew 8-voice polyphonic DIY synthesizer by TubeOhm. We really took our time to develop it during the past few years and now here is it, currently released in small batches. If it is out of stock, it will come back soon after.
Jeannie features 2 Oscillators, Noise, 2 Envelopes, a Multimode Filter, 10 different Waveshaper, 2 LFOs, Ring Modulator, FM, XOR, OR, and a Step Sequencer. The Oscillators can run independently or synced and feature the impressive amount of 945 different waveforms each! 2048 sounds programs can be stored on the SD Card.
New to the latest firmware is an adjustable Waveshaper per voice. Unlike in many other synths, the Waveshaper is located after the filter, what gives extremely interesting timbres and has its advantages.
The synth contains a digital effect processor with 14 different, adjustable effects.
TubeOhm are constantly improving the firmware at the moment, so you can expect updates and new features during the near future.
This is definitely an extremely interesting DIY project with a high price/performance ratio. Hopefully a little community will grow over time around that nice piece of gear.
To get an impression what Jeannie is capable of, please check out this Amazona article including a video sound demo and also read the detailed manual - it’s worth it!
The TubeOhm website is the resource for some sound demos, building instructions, manuals, firmware updates etc. Please download all that stuff there.

You additionally need:
• Power supply 12V DC, min. 1A with 5,5/2,1mm center positive
• Micro SD RAM card 8 to 16 GB
This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. SMD parts are pre-soldered, rest to solder.
DIY level: medium/advanced.

FX Board
Jeannie - DIY Synthesizer FX Board
The FX board is based on a Spinsemi FV-1. At first we wanted to switch off the built-in effects programmes, but some of them are quite usable. We have also programmed 8 new effects.
The audio output
DIY ready build FX board
The FX board
Here you can see the soldered FX board. The effort is limited to the three SMD components.
The board with soldered SMD components can be ordered from TubeOhm.
*** Attention, 16.09.21. Due to the shortage of components, the FV-1s will not be available again until January 2022, according to the European distributor. I have not had good experiences with FV-1s from the spot market. Therefore, the board will be offered without the FV-1 for the time being.
It's like real life, at the beginning of the year there were still hundreds of them, but when you need them there's nothing to be had.
But Jeannie works without the effects for now.
If the FV-1 is available again, mad can simply install the FX board and plug it into the Jeannie - done.
*** A full kit contains also the FV-1.However, we have received only a limited number of the FV-1 ICs .
Frontside:
you see the LCD, encoder, pots and switches.
Backside:
On the right side at the back the Teeny 4.1 is plugged in. On the right side in front of it is the plug-in digital-analogue converter.
In the middle is the FX board . This is simply plugged onto the motherboard
Thus Jeannie consists of :
The technology
Jeannie is based on the Teensy 4.1
DAC output is 16 bit stereo .
The unit can be freely programmed with 4 potentiometers, one encoder and 6 switches. An color 1,8 TFT 160x128 display provides visual feedback and displays all parameters in
And yes, we used 6 SMD components because space was limited.
However, we made sure that the footprint of the SMD components was enlarged so that the components can be soldered easily.
But we will also offer boards where the SMD components are already soldered on.
So, the coolest thing is the easy plug-in DSP board with the FV-1 and an EE-Prom.
EE-Prom . So you can - if you can - also write your own effect programmes.
You can also operate Jeannie without the DSP board at first, i.e. with the sound without effects. Then you buy the board, plug it into the board from below .... Well, your ears will be surprised ......

Here is the case:
Side parts black and the panel dark blue transparent
The plexiglas case is a new development compared to the Shruthi Case . Due to the structure, plugged and additionally screwed with the spacers of the board, it is much more stable. The additional side panels serve as design elements and tilt the device slightly so that the display is more visible. Special allen screws are used for the optics.
The scope of delivery includes:
I would also like to thank Mr. Schön from Plexilaser.de for the production of the housings.

Der Jeannie DIY Synthesizer
Was ist es überhaupt ?
Jeannie ist ein 8 Voice polyphonen synthesizer mit 2 Oszillatoren, 2 Hüllkurven , 2 LFO , Ring, xor FM - und einiges mehr. Den Oszillatoren stehen je 945 verschiedene Wellenformen zur Verfügung.
Ein Multimodefilter sowie ein Waveshaper mit 10 verschiedene Schneidekennlienien erweitern das Soundspektrum damatisch .
Der eingebaute Step-Sequenzer ermöglich spielerisch eigene Sequenzen zu programmieren .
Weiterhin enthält der Synthesizer einen FX CHip mit 14 verschiedene Effekten.
Jeannie ist als selbstbau Synthesizer konzipiert. Die Software wird als open source in kürze veröffentlicht .
Jeannie besteht aus folgenden Komponenten:
Die Technik
Jeannie basiert auf den Teeny 4.1
Der Audioausgang ist 16 Bit stereo.
Über 4 Potis , einen Encoder und 6 Tastern kann das Gerät frei programmiert werden .Ein farbiges 1,8 TFT Display 160x128 dient zum visuellen Feedback und stellt alle Parameter über verschiedene Menues da .
Und ja , wir haben auf 6 SMD Bauteile zurück gegriffen da Platz knapp war .
Allerdings haben wir daraug geachtet das der Footprint der SMD Bauteile vergrößert wurde so das sich die Bauteile gut löten lassen .
Also , das geilste ist einfach die aufsteckbare DSP Platine mit dem FV-1 und einem EE-Prom .
Somit kann man - wenn man kann - auch seine Effektprogramme selber schreiben.
Man kann Jeannie auch erst mal nur ohne DSP - Board betreiben , also mit dem Sound ohne Effekte. Dann kauft man sich das Board dazu , steckt es von unten in die Platine .... Nun , eure Ohren werden Augen machen ......
