I am a college level electrical physics student (and so I do not have a lot of knowledge on the topic of electronics) and I am in the midst of writing a report on a project that was done throughout this session. The project was the conception of a synthesizer, which I did pretty much by myself (I used some videos, manuals and other as sources). I ended up being able to build a functionnal synthetiser on a breadboard, and everything was working fine. Now that I am writing the report, the teacher asked me to provide a functionnal simulation for the circuit, and so I tried doing just that. At first, I used [falstad][1], and was not able to create a functionnal simulation, for some reason the software did not specify (so I have no clue why the falstad simulation does not work). Next, I tried using [tinkercad][2], and again, it didn't work. This time though, the software provided me with an explanation as to why the simulation didn't work, but I wasn't able to make sense of it. Hence why I am here, asking for help in order to make a working simulation of the circuit. I want to know if I am simply making a stupid mistake or if it's actually a circuit that is hard to simulate using those software (In which case I will simply report to my teacher that simulating the circuit was impossible). Here is the circuit diagram, made in falstab (the first simulation that ended up not working [![Here is the circuit diagram, made in falstab (the first simulation that ended up not working)][3]][3] Here is the tinkercad simulation that also doesn't work [Link to the tinkercad simulation][4] [![Here is the tinkercad simulation that also doesn't work][5]][5] Here is the actual working circuit, built on a breadboard [![Here is the actual working circuit, built on a breadboard][6]][6] The wires that are not connected to anything are: - 1 red and black for power supply - 1 red and black for the speaker - one black for the oscilloscope probe used - 2 green (on the keyboard) to plug in the keyboard. The electrical components used are - CD40106B CMOS Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverters - 2N3904 BPJ NPN transistor - IRF510 nMOSFET transistor (I think that this is the full name?) - The speaker's label was erased but I know that it's a 100W with 8 Ohm entry impedence. - 10k Ohm potentiometer for the volume - A 5W 50 ohm resistor (supports higher currents) For the values of other parts, I think I've written everything on the circuit diagram. I didn't put all of the potentiometers from the keyboard since I don't know the exact value; they are tuned for a specific note. They vary from 1k to 20k. As can be seen on the tinkercad simulation, there are also (ideally) a few oscilloscope screen that I would like to show. This is what they look like when I use the physical oscilloscope with the breadboard circuit: [![Oscilloscope out][7]][7] Oscilloscope out [![transistor base out][8]][8] transistor base out [![transistor out (collector)][9]][9] transistor out (collector) [![After capacitor wave delay][10]][10] After capacitor wave delay [![MOSFET out][11]][11] MOSFET out, what plays into the speaker.
