"Serinettes" were obscure mechanical musical instruments from the 18th century. During this time, french aristocrats used these devices to teach captive canaries to sing different melodies (how decadent is that?) The instrument consisted in a small wooden box, containing a cylinder with metal inlays and coded melodies, rotated through a crank. Now, YOU can finally feel like an aristocrat with these new electronic Serinettes, generating sequences of variable amount of notes in which you can control the speed, tone and envelope of the sound. Multiple Serinettes can even be connected to the same clock circuit to play several voices at the same tempo. On your face, Louis XVI!

These new electronic Serinettes are a revision of the ancient french instruments, renewing the sound but keeping the artisanal approach. Constructed in 2020, the main circuit is based on an 8 step sequencer with the possibility to control the envelope of the sound, speed, volume and each one of the steps independently. It was made with traditional woodcrafting techniques, and handcrafted using autochthonous wood like Chestnut (Castanea sativa) or Oak (Quercus robur). The knobs are lathed one by one with Olive (Olea europaea) with brass for all inlays and ornaments.

Controllers:
- 8 independent potentiometer to controll the pitch of the notes, thus creating sequences
- 8 toggle switches to turn the steps on or off
- Volume, controls the output amplitude
- Speed, controls the speed of the sequence
- Reset connector clip
- Attack, controls the beginning of the envelope for each note
- Release, controls the end of the envelope for each note
- 8 brass connectors, to reset the number of steps per sequence
