Hi all, just wanted to tell you about a project we're launching today which some of you might find interesting.
Here's the blurb, let me know if you want to know more!
30th May 2013 :: Technology launches a Kickstarter to fund the OWL reprogrammable effects pedal.
The OWL effects pedal is a stompbox like no other. Completely
open-source design in both hardware and software, the pedal allows developers to design effects patches in C++ for use in a dedicated device. Using a simple drag and drop interface, different patches can be easily uploaded to the pedal - whether these are from the potentially unlimited online patch library or from code of your own design the possibilities are endless. Design unique bespoke DSP effects that no-one else has, or share your creative DSP expertise with other users and contribute to a vibrant, open-source community.
Based around an ARM Cortex M4, the pedal is capable of handling more than 3000 instructions per sample at 48kHz, has integrated DSP, FPU and DMA (Direct Memory Access).
With the OWL sim, you can test your code along the way as a VST plugin in a host of your choosing, fine tuning your patch until you want to take it out to the
gig. All of the embedded stuff is taken care of and there is no requirement for specialist hardware knowledge.
The entire tool chain is also open-source, negating issues like vendor lock-in
and dependence on proprietary tools. This makes the OWL a unique platform for audio DSP developers.
