well i'm an electronics engineer. And since i'm in my final year, I've to do this major project. Being interested in music, i thought why not incorporate that into my project. So we thought of making a audio processor using FPGA. We are trying to use digital signal processing to create affects. Echoes, bass, distortion are some of the minor affects that we plan to produce.
But then i thought, implementation of digital signal processing is really hard. And for all those music lovers we want to create their own affects, it will even be harder if they don't know what DSP is. so why not create a software where users will get to play with the parameters of the filter, change the gain coefficients, delay parameters etc. okay you might say that these kind of software already exists. But then have you ever seen a software that actually allows you to produce your own affects from the core level, like how many numbers delay stages to add, what order of filters to use, how much gain to provide, how many output channels to include, whether stereo, 5.1 surround system or even 10 channel output.
yes i think this software will really be handy to lots of musician who wants to know the maths behind the affects being produced.
