Good afternoon Rolf! I really liked your Jeannie project, and since you position it as open, I designed and manufactured (according to your schematic diagrams) a single-board version of Jeannie's SMD.

Hallo Alex

I think the display is not the right type. Hence the display error.

The correct display type:&nbsp; [https://www.buydisplay.com/st7735-1-8-inch-color-tft-display-module-spi-128x160-arduino-raspberry-pi](https://www.buydisplay.com/st7735-1-8-inch-color-tft-display-module-spi-128x160-arduino-raspberry-pi)

But you can ask [tubeohm.com](http://tubeohm.com) if he sells a piece.&nbsp;

Happy Easter from germany. Rolf

Hi dear synth fans.

The Jeannie can now stereo. I reprogrammed the voice distribution in the Jeannie a bit.  
The eight voices can be distributed arbitrarily in the stereo panorama. In addition, there is now a Unison and Mono mode.

[![](https://forum.midibox.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4d0bad427f65e2991671457f8d71b6262e97edfc.jpeg "Jeannie polyhonic DIY Synthesizer with Pan function") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75-9MeFV5rk)

&nbsp;

Voice distribution in Poly mode:  
1.Voice Left 90%, Right 10%  
2.Voice Left 80%, Right 20%  
3.Voice Left 70%, Right 30%  
4.Voice Left 60%, Right 40%  
5.Voice Left 40%, Right 60%  
6.Voice Left 30%, Right 70%  
7.Voice Left 20%, Right 80%  
8.Voice Left 10%, Right 90%

Voice distribution in mono mode  
Mono: middle voice  
Mono-2: 1st voice left, 2nd voice right  
Mono-3: 1st voice left, 2nd voice middle, 3rd voice right  
Mono-4: 1st Voice Left, 2nd Voice Left to Center, 3rd Voice Right to Center, 4th Voice Right  
Mono-6: 1st voice left, 2nd voice slightly left to center, 3rd voice slightly more left to center, 4th voice slightly more right to center, 5th voice slightly right to center, 6th voice right

The whole thing can be spread from mono to stereo with the PAN control 🙂

The distribution of votes in Unison mode is still being worked on.

Sorry.. Your display is not compatible with Jeannie. Please use the original display type ER-TFTM018-3 from [buydisplay.com](http://buydisplay.com).

Добрый день. Я благодарен за подсказку но я не могу купить этот дисплей так-как мая кредитная карта от сбера не обслуживается ( из-за санкций)

Good afternoon. I’m grateful for the tip, but I can’t buy this display because my credit card from Sberbank is out of service (due to sanctions)

Ok I understand. Then we try to adapt the software for you. But it can take a while. I need your email and will send you the software.

I need a picture from display backside. Thanks.

The OLED display has a different pixel resolution and is not supported in the Jeannie software.
