11.04.17 | Week 10. Blog Debrief

Admittedly, I wasn't able to get much done this week because I was "between" availabilities at work - in other words, I had the shifts of two separate schedules and the days off of none, although I should have a lighter work schedule for the rest of the semester. That being said, I did at least figure out I'm going to be using Connor Nishijima's Synth or "Volume 2" library for sound synthesis due to the ease of producing wavetables, volume control, and polyphonic synthesis. I also bought a case for my Arduino.

10.14.17 | Week 7. Blog Debrief

Note: class was canceled Monday, 9 Oct. due to Hurricane Nate. My parts arrived, so I started looking into existing waveform / FM synthesis libraries for Arduino to make sure I could produce sounds to begin with. Ultimately, I decided on using Connor Nishijima's "Arduino-Synth Volume2 Library" because I was trying to make sure I could achieve a few specific benchmarks using minimal hardware (in this case literally just a speaker and a couple of wires): - Produce different waveforms (square, triangle, saw, etc.) - Produce multiple voices concurrently for polyphony or being able to use multiple "tracks" (evident in the lead and percussion). - Make sure I could get sound at all. It's not the loudest thing in the world, but I have a video demonstrating the test here:  link While the library for synthesis is unaltered, the composition / melody in this case is custom. The "lead" is composed of 3 separate sine synths (to test polyphony), and th...
