Introduction and Project Summary

This project involves the creation of a musical synthesizer through the use of an FPGA. It allows for real-time MIDI input through the use of a physical keyboard, generating different types of audio signals. Through the use of different types of filters, one can create a variety of sounds for the use of musical production. This is including and not limited to some in granular synthesizers which let people manipulate portions (or “grains”) of selected signals. Moreover, the device allows for audio storage and input, such that you can replay saved audio and modify external ones as desired.
