Daniel’s Status Report for 04/18

This week, I tried to get the keyboard up and running with the WaveShaper as well as implement MIDI CC commands to dynamically adjust the ADSR envelope and filter parameters While this is now up, it is only for one voice at a time.

The keyboard is currently using the laptop from the interim demo setup as a relay. As Jake mentioned in his status report, the distributions of the Linux kernel provided by Altera were not compiled with ALSA support despite having the corresponding dpkg packages. While I believe this can be fixed, I have decided to focus elsewhere for now.

Finally, I am preparing the Quartus file for the final artifact. The time it takes to synthesize is becoming longer and longer with the HPS. Attempts to use design partitions do not seem to reduce this.
