ARM FPGA Audio board

LINK
via Eric on the SDIY list:
"Basically it's a MIDI controlled 2-op FM synthesizer with an ADSR and a regenerative feedback delay. The ARM processor is responsible for configuring the FPGA and parsing the MIDI data into parameter settings for the synth design.

I've made a few audio samples to demonstrate some of the sounds. Find them here.

Descriptions:
fm.mp3 - this is playing around with the 2-op FM waveshaping. You can hear changes in the mod/carrier ratio as well as the mod index. Note the rather strong clicking as the mod/carrier ratio is changed, while sweeping the index is much smoother.

gong.mp3 - this is a high and low gong sound to illustrate the exponential release.

delay.mp3 - this is playing around with the regenerative delay / feedback feature.

Let me know what you think!

Eric"
