Edgar Berdahl
and
Esteban Maestre CCRMA Summer Workshop Main Page
- Most basic theory of signal processing
- Description of operation of prior effects boxes and digital audio effects
- Laboratory exercise teaching you how to program our own open-source software and hardware platform involving:
- connecting to your stompbox over an Ethernet connection from your laptop
- creating new digital audio effects by connecting together basic building blocks
- example effects will be presented in both the Pure Data and Faust programming languages
- controlling the interface using knobs and buttons connected via Arduino
- Introduction to human-computer interface devices for projects
- Further discussion of open-source hardware and software platforms including the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Board xM
This workshop is intended for:
Musicians interested in exploring new possibilities in digital audio effects in a hands-on and technical way; Makers, engineers, computer scientists, or product designers interested in exploring artistic outlets for their talents and collaborating with musicians; and/or anyone looking to gain valuable skills in basic audio signal processing and human-computer interfaces, with a focus on invention.
