Open-source headless multi synth
| Resumo: | This dissertation explores the development of a software synthesizer with physical control by integrating a microprocessor with a MIDI controller to create a headless configuration, eliminating the need for additional peripherals. By leveraging the low-cost and high- performance capabilities of modern microprocessors, specifically a Raspberry Pi, this research aims to bridge the gap between hardware and software synthesizers. The study begins with a detailed literature review, focusing on articles with similar aims. Follows with a comprehensive review of related work, sourcing information from websites, discussion forums, and open-source project platforms. The existing solutions are critically examined to identify gaps and opportunities for innovation. The development process employs Design Science Research methodology, involving iterative development and evaluation of the synthesizer software. The final outcome is a synthesizer software that enhances real-time control while maintaining the advantages of software synthesis. This integration of a microprocessor and MIDI controller in a headless configuration demonstrates the potential for creating high- quality, budget-friendly synthesizers. |
