A streamlined workflow from Max/gen~ to modular hardware

Graham Wakefield

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

This paper describes Oopsy, which provides a streamlined process for editing digital signal processing algorithms for precise and sample accurate sound generation, transformation and modulation, and placing them in the context of embedded hardware and modular synthesizers. This pipeline gives digital instrument designers the development flexibility of established software with the deployment benefits of working on hardware. Specifically, algorithm design takes place in the flexible context of gen~ in Max, and Oopsy automatically and fluently translates this and uploads it onto the open-ended Daisy embedded hardware. The paper locates this work in the context of related software/hardware workflows, and provides detail of its contributions in design, implementation, and use.
